OBPA Executive Director Steve Lawrence said passenger traffic is down 43% compared to 2019 and 38% to 2024. He said freight activity has also slowed, with truck crossings down 22.8% from 2019 and 15.8% in 2024.

Overall bridge traffic fell 40.2 percent compared to 2019 and 35.1% from 2024.

Good work, truck traffic declines is crazy. Hopefully that’s more boycotts than tariffs.
