Furthermore, the bill requires the Comptroller General of the United States to submit a report to Congress within 18 months. This report will review CBP's progress in handling non-motorized traffic, determine the effectiveness of their facilitation efforts, and provide recommendations. It will also suggest ways CBP can further enhance facilitation and identify potential incentives to encourage increased non-motorized traffic across the bridge.
