Abstract:The motivation behind the Transportation Infrastructure and Traffic Management Analysis of
Cross Border Bottlenecks study was generated by the U.S.-Mexico Border Partnership Action
Plan (Action item #2 of the 22-Point Smart Border Action Plan: Develop a prioritized list of
infrastructure projects and take immediate action to relieve bottlenecks). In December 2002,
the U.S.-Mexico Joint Working Committee (JWC)1 approved the scope of work and methodology
for the Bottleneck Study developed by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans),
District 11 to identify and address bottlenecks at the U.S.-Mexico ports of entry. For the
purpose of this study, a bottleneck is defined as a condition that restricts the free movement of
traffic, creating a point of congestion during specific periods of time. Addressing and alleviating
this congestion in the highway system would enhance movement of people and goods. The
study identifies a number of improvements in the operational efficiency and flow of vehicles
traveling to and from the land ports of entry (POEs). Additionally, the JWC requested that
Caltrans carry out the Phase I case study of the San Diego-Tijuana Gateway.
