CLEAR's National TSA PreCheck Network Expands to 58 Enrollment Centers: Strategic Growth Accelerates Traveler Access

CLEAR, the identity verification platform traded on NYSE as YOU, has significantly broadened its footprint by introducing expedited security enrollment services at five major U.S. airports in early 2025, bringing its cumulative TSA PreCheck enrollment center count to 58 locations nationwide.

New Strategic Airport Locations Drive Geographic Coverage

The rollout includes enrollment facilities at Sarasota Bradenton International, Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall, Gerald R. Ford International, Phoenix Sky Harbor International, and Portland International airports. Each location features extended operating hours designed to accommodate diverse traveler schedules, typically running from early morning through evening (6 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time), with weekend adjustments at select hubs.

This network represents a comprehensive list of CLEAR airports now participating in the DHS Trusted Traveler program infrastructure across major metropolitan and regional travel corridors. CEO Caryn Seidman Becker emphasized that the expansion creates “a win-win scenario” by delivering convenience through multiple enrollment touchpoints and streamlined processing.

Market Positioning and Membership Growth Trajectory

The initiative reflects CLEAR’s broader strategy to capture a larger share of the Trusted Traveler program ecosystem. With over 20 million active TSA PreCheck members nationwide and membership continuing to climb, the company is positioning itself to capture enrollment growth across high-traffic aviation hubs. The list of CLEAR airports now spans the continental U.S., Caribbean routes, and Hawaii operations, enabling geographic diversification.

TSA PreCheck members accessing CLEAR’s services benefit from accelerated security screening—approximately 99% of eligible members pass through checkpoints in under 10 minutes—alongside the ability to retain shoes, belts, and light jackets during screening procedures.

Operational Expansion and Consumer Convenience Strategy

Throughout 2025, CLEAR intends to introduce additional enrollment locations and extend service hours further, capitalizing on rising demand for expedited travel verification. The company’s platform operates across more than 200 U.S. airports, with approximately 90 airlines now participating in the streamlined security model.

The expanded network includes flagship locations at major hubs (LaGuardia, Los Angeles, Chicago O’Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver) alongside secondary and tertiary market coverage. Most existing TSA PreCheck members can complete renewals digitally through the official platform regardless of their original enrollment provider.

Insider Trading and Institutional Positioning

Recent market activity reveals notable portfolio shifts: CLEAR insiders executed three stock transactions within the past six months, consisting entirely of sales totaling approximately $10.3 million across positions held by President & CFO Kenneth L. Cornick, related investment entities, and executive Adam Wiener. Concurrently, institutional investors demonstrated mixed sentiment, with 190 funds increasing holdings while 161 reduced positions in Q4 2024.

Major institutional moves included Delta Air Lines’ complete exit (4.3 million shares, ~$114M) and PACER Advisors’ substantial accumulation (3M shares, ~$81M), signaling divergent views on CLEAR’s growth trajectory.

Analyst Coverage and Market Outlook

Wall Street sentiment remains constructive, with two firms issuing positive ratings: Telsey Advisory assigned an “Outperform” designation (November 2024) and Needham maintained a “Buy” rating (October 2024). No sell ratings have been issued, though analyst coverage remains limited, suggesting ongoing discovery phase for the identity verification and trusted traveler space.

The company’s forward-looking statements acknowledge potential uncertainties regarding execution and market adoption, though management projects continued expansion momentum throughout 2025. CLEAR’s commitment to privacy protections—members retain full control over personal data—distinguishes its operational model within the verified identity market segment.
