ABSTRACT
|
|
The Mineta Transportation Institute at San José State
University conducted this study to review the issues, impacts, implications, and opportunities for improved
California-Baja California border area land transportation. The study reviews current conditions,
previously identified issues, and, in consultation with Caltrans District 11 officials and others, developed an
ultimate listing of seven issues for detailed study as follows: (1) public transportation at the border; (2)
cross-broder Americans with Disabilities Act interface; (3) California highway access to Tijuana International
Airport; (4) Clean Air Act compliance; (5) General Services Administration off-site authority; (6) southbound
inspection requirement; and (7) pipelines or other stationary facilities.
As the study proceeded several topics of immediate concern
were identified and relayed to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) as four
recommendations. Observations and findings relating to the above seven
issues are summarized and fifteen recommendations concerning them are presented.
