Book Description
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.
