International Trade and Border Crossing Research

The Texas Transportation Institute has conducted research and addressed transportation issues at the U.S.-Mexico border for over a decade. International trade and transportation at the border is a key component of the U.S. economy. Every year, more than four million trucks cross into the U.S. from Mexico with merchandise valued at more than $100 billion.

TTI's research in this area spans a wide range of topics, from international trade and logistics to border crossing operations and the application of advanced technologies to border transportation issues.

TTI recently established in El Paso, Texas, its Center for International Intelligent Transportation Research, a research center focused on developing policy, operational and technological solutions to enhance the efficient, safe and secure movement of people and goods across international borders.

Some of the border and international trade research activity under way at TTI fall within the following subject areas.
