NOTE: To give you a more complete picture of conditions at the border, this dashboard shows wait times from multiple sources: road sensor data from the Whatcom Council of Governments (a regional transportation planning agency) and estimates from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (U.S.-bound traffic only) and the Canada Border Services Agency (Canada-bound traffic only).
Since these are different sources with different methodologies, they often differ in what they report.

How it works
My name is Benjamin Payne, and I live in Bellingham, Washington. After having moved here in 2025, I realized that there existed no online dashboard to check wait times at all five ports of entry along the U.S.-Canada border in Whatcom County. So, I designed this web app. It retrieves the latest available border crossing wait times, traffic cam images, and weather conditions — from a multitude of otherwise messy government datasets — and presents it all in a clean layout.
I will always make sure BorderBug is free, but if you'd like, you can…

If you have any suggestions on how this tool could be improved, please feel free to email me here. I enjoy tinkering with the code to improve the app's look, feel, and functionality.
