From the Paper:

"The following are two tables containing data collected for the purposes of analyzing the feasibility of the SENTRI project. The first, Table A, contains data that was used to calculate central tendency. This table is the result of a 100-person poll that was conducted utilizing employees that traveled between Mexico and San Diego. Travelers that participated in the SENTRI program experienced the shortest wait, spending between 5 and 15 minutes on average. Travelers on foot spent on average 10 to 15 minutes waiting at the border."
