Buffalo, NY – New technology is now in place at Western New York border crossings.
It is called Radio Frequency Identification technology. It works with new travel documents to make the borders more secure and efficient. WBFO'S Eileen Buckley was at the Peace Bridge Monday when the new technology was demonstrated.
By June 1st, citizens crossing the border into Canada will be required to use a passport card, enhanced drivers license or traditional passport. New passport cards or an enhanced New York State drivers license will allow quicker travel through the customs plaza.
