Alexandria, VA – The American Transportation Research Institute will be discussing the ACE program and other border crossing issues with Customs & Border Protection (CBP) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) on two separate satellite radio shows airing live tonight and tomorrow morning.  The border crossing shows precede the March 29th release of ATRI’s CBP-sponsored assessment of the ACE system and its impact on trucking operations.
