About
BorderSmart helps San Diego-Tijuana crossers plan northbound trips through San Ysidro and Otay Mesa.
Open the app for a quick answer on General, Ready Lane, and SENTRI waits. Save your regular lane as My Lane, compare every supported lane on the board, and use freshness, confidence, and likely-range cues to decide whether to go now or wait.
BorderSmart combines public border wait-time data, historical patterns, traffic context, and optional crossing reports to help estimate what the wait may look like next.
Use BorderSmart to:
- compare San Ysidro and Otay Mesa General, Ready Lane, and SENTRI waits
- save one lane as My Lane for a faster home screen
- view a planning range instead of false precision
- check freshness and confidence before trusting an estimate
- open lane detail for supporting cues and best-time-today guidance
- create alerts for good crossing windows and unusually heavy waits
- start, finish, or cancel a crossing from the app
- switch between English and Spanish
- keep reading cached lane data when connectivity is poor
BorderSmart does not require an account. Forecasts are estimates, not guarantees, and the app shows its trust cues so you can judge the current reading before you leave.

What's New in BorderSmart
1.2.0
September 25, 2026
BorderSmart now tells you more honestly what to expect at your lane. Lane names on the Board are easier to read, and My Lane shows your plan and your best backup without scrolling. Best time today now looks at half-hour slots. When a lane is closed you see when it reopens, the open alternatives, and how long the line usually is at opening. When live CBP waits are unavailable or you are offline, the app says what the times are based on instead of warning on every row. Southbound rows show the usual wait for this hour, alerts ask for notification permission when you create one, and after a crossing you can see whether your trip counts toward the estimates.
