The source for data in this release is the Border Crossing data website: https://data.bts.gov/stories/s/jswi-2e7b Pedestrian and Personal vehicle crossings have steadily rose from the COVID-19 pandemic lows in 2020. However, as compared with 2019, pedestrian crossings were still 17.4 percent lower than 2024. Personal vehicle crossings were 0.4 percent lower.  Table 1.
