URL: http://www.globalsecurity.org/security/systems/sentri.htm

Description:
"SENTRI is the world's first automated dedicated commuter lane, using advanced Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) technology modified to meet the stringent law enforcement needs at the border, while at the same time providing a more efficient means of traffic management, thereby reducing congestion." This site from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security explains how SENTRI works and how to qualify to use the fast lane.
