Abstract Border transportation planning involves the development of goals, objectives, and strategies for moving people and goods across the U.S.–Mexico border. FHWA leads multiple binational stakeholders to collaboratively create safe and effective cross-border transportation. FHWA also facilitates the development and maintenance of the surface transportation system along the U.S.–Mexico border to address existing and anticipated demand for cross border travel and trade while working with federal, state, regional, and local agencies, the private sector, and various stakeholders. In 2016, 129,000 trucks, 1 million personal vehicles, and 2 million vehicle passengers crossed through the three Land Ports of Entry (LPOEs) along New Mexico’s 180 miles of shared border with Chihuahua, Mexico’s largest state.1,2
