FAST driver card extended to five years
OTTAWA (Dec, 2, 2002) — The Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) has extended the validity period for driver registration under the Free and Secure Trade (FAST) bilateral program between Canada and the U.S. from two to five years, the Canadian Trucking Alliance reported last week.
The cost of the card will remain $80, the association said.
The CTA said it has been working with the American Trucking Associations to convince the U.S. Customs Service and the CCRA to make the change, which the association said will save the industry “millions of dollars.”
By moving to five years, the validity period for commercial driver registration is also being brought into line with that of the NEXUS program for private travelers.
Commercial Driver Information and Application forms are now available on the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency’s web site at www.ccra-adrc.gc.ca/customs/business/importing/fast/menu-e.html
