    Wannabe international travelers have an ultra-convenient new way to get their passport processed in a jiffy: Plano-based FedEx Office, previously known for printing, packing, and shipping, has teamed up with RushMyPassport, an online passport service, to offer expedited U.S. passport services, beginning July 1.

    The U.S. State Department recently increased the average time it takes to get a passport processed to 6-8 weeks (it used to be 4-6 weeks).

    Now you can stop at one of the 2,000 FedEx locations or visit them online at FedEx.com/passport if you need rushed passport processing, renewals, or updated government-compliant passport photos.

    You can actually get a passport in as quickly as one day.

    Other services include overnight shipping for rushed passport applications; full-tracking visibility throughout the approval process; and 24/7 assistance from passport specialists.

    Kim Dixon, chief operating officer of FedEx Office, says in a release that this collaboration with RushMyPassport gives travelers a quick and efficient way to expedite and renew their passports.

    "Many of us have experienced the distress of realizing our passport isn’t ready for an upcoming trip and, as a result, scramble to find a last-minute solution," Dixon says. "This convenient service will help eliminate the confusion and common errors that often arise and help simplify the process."

    Expedited passports and rushed passport renewal baseline pricing is offered at six levels:

    • 24-hour service — 1 business day: $449
    • Next-day service — 2 business days: $349
    • Priority service — 3-5 business days: $249
    • Rush service — 6-7 business days: $169
    • Standard service — 8-10 business days: $119
    • Rush renewal* — 10-12 business days: $99

    They'll also sell government-compliant 2x2 photos to submit with passport applications, for a mere $14.95.

    RushMyPassport CEO Mosie Miller says that, beyond the need to get a passport ASAP, doing it the regular way puts you at the mercy of the US Postal System. Oooh burn.

    "Routine passport processing can take weeks," Miller says. "You also have to factor in the possibility of issues with documents you finally receive in the mail, causing further delays and even more headaches. [This service] helps travelers overcome these issues, giving a smooth and secure way to handle passport needs."

    RushMyPassport.com is owned by Expedited Travel LLC, and specializes in expediting U.S. passports.

    3 Dallas highways rank among deadliest roads in America, per report

    Heads up to Dallasites commuting on the city's freeways: Three busy Dallas County highways were just deemed among the deadliest roads in the country, with I-30 in Dallas ranking as the fourth deadliest road in Texas. That's according to a new study based on the latest National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data.

    The study, commissioned by Santa Ana, California-based company Future Bail Bonds, compared fatal crash data across 96,000 U.S. roads from 2019-2023. The top 150 "deadliest" roads were ranked by the total number of fatal crashes that occurred during the five-year period.

    The No. 1 deadliest road in America is I-15 in San Bernardino County, California, the study found. The interstate, which runs from Southern California to Las Vegas, experienced the highest rate of deadly car crashes from 2019-2023 with 196 crashes.

    East-west thoroughfare I-30 — the most deadly in Dallas with 76 fatal wrecks during the same time period — ranked as the 23rd deadliest road in the nation.

    Elsewhere in Dallas County, Loop 12 and I-653 were among the top 150 deadliest U.S. roads, although much further down on the report: Loop 12 ranked No. 115 on the list with 45 fatal wrecks, while I-635 ranked 132nd with 43 crashes.

    Considering that tens of thousands of people drive the road every day, a fatal crash is unlikely, but the data underscores the need for drivers to remain aware of their surroundings at all times.

    The deadliest road in Texas is I-45 in Houston, which had 88 fatal vehicle wrecks in the five-year period. I-45 stretches from Dallas to Galveston, and it ranked as the 16th deadliest U.S. road. A specific part of the highway, the I-45 North Freeway, earned its own spot on the list as the 124th deadliest U.S. road.

    "From 2019 to 2023, motor vehicle crashes claimed 186,284 lives across 96,257 roads in the United States, underscoring the persistent danger on American roadways," the report said.

    In neighboring Tarrant County, two busy roadways appeared on the list: I-20 ranked 63rd on the list with 56 fatal crashes, and I-820 ranked three spots behind as No. 66 with 55 fatal crashes.

    Eight other Texas roads that were deemed the deadliest in America with the highest rates of fatal vehicle crashes from 2019-2023 include:

    • No. 17 – I-35 in Travis County (87 crashes)
    • No. 22 – I-10 in Harris County (76 crashes)
    • No. 27 – I-410 in Bexar County (73 crashes)
    • No. 32 – I-10 in El Paso County (69 crashes)
    • No. 114 – FM 1960 in Harris County (45 crashes)
    • No. 130 – I-35 in Bexar County (43 crashes)
    • No. 131 – I-610 in Harris County (43 crashes)
    • No. 141 – I-10 in Jefferson County (42 crashes)
