Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In providing incentives for increased trade among the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) could considerably liberalize freight carriage across these countries' respective borders. While Texas has a substantial economic interest in this increased trade, transportation planners indicate that the state, because of its strategic geographic location and its 2000-km-long border with Mexico, is destined to sustain a disproportionate share of such negative effects as traffic hazards, pavement consumption, and excessive capacity of its highways and border crossings. Accordingly, this report (1) updates and expands international traffic information in the Transborder database; (2) analyzes transborder traffic growth over the period 1993-94 (which takes into account the effects of NAFTA) and 1994-95 (which takes into account the Mexican peso devaluation); and (3) quantifies the amount of U.S.-Mexico trade that uses Texas' highway and rail infrastructure, but which has origins and destinations outside Texas.

Book excerpt: Effective transportation planning for the 1,230-mile (1,980-km) long Texas-Mexico border must take into account not only the unique characteristics of a binational environment, but also the possible impacts of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Accordingly, this study developed two complementary concepts useful in such binational transportation planning: sector analysis and super-crossing. Sector analysis--a concept based on major traffic diversion areas--provides aggregated revenue and/or demand estimates that address regional (as against site-specific) transportation planning issues. The super-crossing concept, developed to address post-NAFTA commercial traffic, is based on Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) guidelines intended to foster multi- and intermodal facilities. Both concepts are fully described in this report. Additionally, border transportation planning and the implementation of sector analysis methodology require, in turn, assessments of traffic flow patterns and of post-NAFTA socioeconomic indicators. Thus, NAFTA socioeconomic impacts and origin and destination patterns are included as study objectives, both of which are fully documented in this report.

Download or read book Measurement and Analysis of Traffic Loads Across the Texas Mexico Border written by Joseph Paul Leidy and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Axle load and gross-vehicle weight characteristics of Mexican-origin commercial trucks processed through the U.S. Customs yard in the city of Laredo, Texas, are described in this report. Investigation of these characteristics particular to Mexican-origin trucks is directed by a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)-sponsored study entitled "Multi-Modal Planning and the U.S.-Mexico Free Trade Agreement" as a prerequisite to evaluating the potential damage to Texas highways posed by international trade traffic. Justifiable concern exists not just with the increasing volume of trade-related truck traffic, but also with the loads carried by Mexican-origin trucks. This study is facilitated by the installation of a weigh-in-motion (WIM) system at the preeminent Southwestern commercial truck port-of-entry (Laredo). Load summaries are presented on five basic truck classes (by axle count) and are based on the original Association of American State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) pavement damage relationships.

Book excerpt: The final objective was to provide estimates of the potential demand for and revenue from additional bridges along the Texas-Mexico Border, with such estimates complemented by an assessment of current capacity utilization of the available infrastructure. These results are documented in Reports 1976-4 and 1976-5.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents most of this project's first objective, namely, to update and expand the TRANSBORDER data base. This report discusses all relevant data collected and organized in this project, with the exception of international bridge demand and U.S.-Mexico overland commerce data, which warranted a separate report (Report 2932-2). This report includes Texas-Mexico multimodal traffic data (rail, airborne, and waterborne), socioeconomic indicators, truck weight analyses, and energy consumption within the transportation sector. For each type of data, we document and discuss data collection procedures, the different data sources, and practical applications of those data.

Book excerpt: "During the decade 1910-1920, the southern border of the United States was in constant turmoil as a result of the revolution taking place in Mexico at that time. Residents of Texas watched with concern as the civil strife in the country to the south engendered violence that spilled across the Rio Grande into their own state. This book studies the interaction between Texas and the united States as each attempted to deal with Mexico and the border situation, as well as the relationship of both state and nation with the various factions active in the Mexican Revolution."--Publisher's description.
