Registered Traveler (RT) is a nation-wide program that is designed to improve customer service at airports. It is being offered by the private sector. To be eligible for the program, travelers must volunteer background information about themselves. Participants are also required to pay an annual fee.

Private sector companies will provide enrollment services for RT participants, including the collection of biometric and other information from applicants as well as program fees. The biometric information such as a fingerprint or iris scan, will be used to create a secure identity credential.

iQueue develops, markets, sells and deploys iQueue Priority Access an end-to-end solution for the RT program. The iQueue solution leverages the expertise, relevant experience and marketing reach of companies with which iQueue has strategic relationships.

The secure, biometric iQueue card will allow qualified individuals to take advantage of expedited security screening procedures at participating airports, and in time promotional incentives offered by retail partners.

The RT program is aimed at frequent travelers. According to the Travel Industry Association, in 2004 approximately 38 million Americans traveled on business, averaging approximately 5.5 trips per year.
