• $5.3 Billion lost due to border delays for United States; $3.28 Billion for Mexico. Total: $8.58 Billion lost to the bi-national economy*

 • Air quality suffers from automobiles and trucks idling in line

• Products destined for California, other states and for export are severely affected by border delays

• Free trade and global competitiveness of the NAFTA partners is enhanced by a free flowing and secure border.

• We believe it is possible to improve both security and efficiency at the busiest border in the world by:

• Increased pre-clearance of frequent crossers (SENTRI/FAST)• Increased use of RFID documents (Smart Cards) • Increased focus on infrequent crossers• Improved management by CBP

*Reference: San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and California Department of Transportation, District 11 (Caltrans) studies.

Reduce excessive wait times that travelers and cargo experience when they cross from Mexico to the United States while assisting CBP to secure the border through sound management.

We aim to accomplish this by:

1.Promoting improvements in infrastructure and practices that increase throughput while maintaining security.

2.Increasing the use of SENTRI and FAST “Trusted Traveler” Programs.

3.Working with CBP so that border agents manage different border crossers appropriately.

4.Increasing the use of “Smart Cards” for regular vehicle and pedestrian crossings to ease agent workload.

5.Transferring improvements pioneered in San Diego / Tijuana to other crossings, Tecate, Mexicali and east.

1. Build out new cargo inspection lanes on 10 acre parcel

2. Build Otay Mesa II as rapidly as possible—goal of 2012

3. Implement highly flexible and dynamic lane assignments between SENTRI and regular lanes – WHTI technology

4. Better infrastructure on approaches on Mexican side

5. Resolve legal and immigration issues that impede adoption of RFID technology, such as residency requirements for green card holders.

6. Build passenger crossing from the US to Tijuana airport.

The total number of individuals crossing the San Diego-Tijuana border declined 23% from 2003 to 2007*

Based on Q1-Q3 2008 data from CBP, the number of individuals that crossed in 2008 will likely be only 45 million (26% lower than 2003)*Source: Crossborder Group Inc. estimates based on data from CBP/DHS.
