2 Each day:  72,000+ people in 39,000 cars  22,000+ pedestrians  24 total lanes:  19-21 for cars (some to be double-stacked)  2-4 for SENTRI  1 for buses Source: Crossborder Group Inc. calculations based on 2008 data from Customs & Border Protection/DHS Each day:  72,000+ people in 39,000 cars  22,000+ pedestrians  24 total lanes:  19-21 for cars (some to be double-stacked)  2-4 for SENTRI  1 for buses Source: Crossborder Group Inc. calculations based on 2008 data from Customs & Border Protection/DHS

3 Each day:  24,000+ people in 13,300 cars  4,600+ pedestrians  12 total lanes:  Up to 10 for cars  1 for SENTRI  1 for buses Source: Crossborder Group Inc. calculations based on 2008 data from Customs & Border Protection/DHS Each day:  24,000+ people in 13,300 cars  4,600+ pedestrians  12 total lanes:  Up to 10 for cars  1 for SENTRI  1 for buses Source: Crossborder Group Inc. calculations based on 2008 data from Customs & Border Protection/DHS

4 Each day:  3,000-3,500 trucks cross north, similar number cross south  $80+ million of goods both ways  2+ hour average wait time Sources: Crossborder Group Inc. calculations based on 2007 data from US Dept. of Transportation; and border wait data collected in 2007-2008 by Crossborder Group Inc.

5 A Project of the Mexico Business Center $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.

6 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.
