About the Border Policy Research Institute
The Border Policy Research Institute is a multi-disciplinary research institute at Western Washington University focused on policy research dealing with transportation, mobility and security issues affecting the Canada-U.S. border. The University established the Institute to further its mission of promoting research, academic programs and public programming on critical policy issues affecting the Pacific Northwest region and Canada.
In its work, the BPRI is especially dedicated to fostering creative thinking about the border and the complex relationships and infrastructure that connect the northern I-5 corridor with Canada. The Institute will work closely with cognate programs at Western such as the Center for Canadian-American Studies, the Center for Economic and Business Research and Huxley College of Environmental Studies. The Institute is especially interested in conducting its work in collaboration with the numerous transportation-oriented public and private entities within the Pacific Northwest region and in Canada.
