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.
