San Diego's regional planning and transportation agencies are studing the impacts of border wait times on the economy of the San Diego and Baja California border regions.
SANDAG, in partnership with Caltrans District 11, is conducting a study to estimate the impacts of border wait times on the economy of the San Diego and northern Baja California border regions. This project seeks to estimate regional impacts of delays at the San Ysidro-Puerta México, Otay Mesa-Mesa de Otay, and Tecate-Tecate ports of entry on the economy of the San Diego-northern Baja California border region. With assistance from a consultant team, SANDAG is developing an economic model as an analysis tool, which will be based on information obtained from surveys and other relevant data.
Tecnical report from the study are also available online.
