## Skills

- **fastest border crossing from a location**: Given a place, returns US border crossings ranked by total time (drive + current wait), honouring lane eligibility (standard, SENTRI/NEXUS, Ready, FAST) and vehicle type.
- **wait times by lane and vehicle type**: Current CBP waits broken out per lane — standard, SENTRI/NEXUS, Ready, FAST — and per vehicle type (passenger, commercial, pedestrian), because eligibility changes which crossing is actually fastest.
- **the nearest crossing is often not the fastest**: Compares the closest port of entry against the one with the lowest all-in time, so a longer drive to a shorter queue is surfaced rather than assumed away.
