Linking the two sides of the Niagara Falls region, the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission (NFBC) is a joint U.S. and Canadian agency that owns and operates three bridges that traverse the Niagara River. The organization is charged with keeping the Niagara Falls bridges safe and ensuring that traffic flows efficiently and unhindered between the two countries. Network security and traffic management functions are overseen remotely from NFBC's operations center at the agency's administrative headquarters in Lewiston, N.Y. From this center, NFBC management and staff analyze information streaming in from 160 video cameras, 96 access-control points and six U.S./Canadian customs plazas distributed along the bridges.
