Abstract:
A hazardous materials (HazMat) truck traffic and shipping manifest study was conducted at the Yselta-Zaragoza Port of Entry in El Paso, Texas, and at the Anthony Port of Entry in Anthony, New Mexico, in 2012. Truck traffic information presented in this report includes estimated truck traffic levels, as well as truck size, type, and HazMat placards. HazMat shipping manifest information includes truck configurations and body types, HazMat placards, shipment origin and destination, commodity name, commodity UN/NA number, shipment quantities, and shipment packaging configurations. This report complements a hazardous materials commodity flow study that was conducted in 2012 for roadways and railways in El Paso County, and along the I-10 Corridor in West and Central Texas.
