The study examines the effects of the recent and projected growth of transborder truck traffic on the city of Laredo, a key gateway for U.S.-Mexico trade. It concludes that additional investments in city infrastructure are needed to manage truck and auto traffic, and that dedicated truck routes could be financed by raising bridge tolls to incorporate a user fee for their provision and maintenance. Additionally, traffic forecast models (which include rail) capable of encompassing the whole U.S.-Mexico border area must be developed to validate specific infrastructure investment decisions, from both a highway and multimodal planning perspective.
