La Entrada Study Analyzing Trade Corridor Team Examining Potential Impacts on Existing Highway Network n ews Texas Department of Transportation (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) July 18, 2007 La Entrada Study Analyzing Trade Corridor Team examining potential impacts on existing highway network The potential of the La Entrada al Pacifico (LEAP) trade corridor in West Texas and its impacts to local and regional mobility are the focus of an ongoing study by the Texas Department of Transportation. The study, which will determine what highway improvements are needed to meet anticipated trade demand, is currently focusing on data collection and travel demand modeling, according to members of a team at work on the study. The two phases are the first of four in the study: data collection, travel demand modeling, alternatives identification/screening and a corridor development plan. Results of each step are being presented to the public at public meetings scheduled throughout the study, as well as in meetings with local citizens on a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) representing various local and regional interests. In the initial phases underway now, team members are analyzing each of the route alternatives in the region, based on demographic, socioeconomic, environmental, economic, safety, and engineering, and studying expected travel demands along these routes –including commercial traffic– projected for the year 2030. The La Entrada al Pacifico corridor was designated from Lamesa to Presidio by both state and federal authorities to promote commercial traffic from the Pacific Coast of Mexico and Western Mexico through West Texas. “The purpose of this study is not to promote a trade corridor,” said Amadeo Saenz, TxDOT’s assistant director for engineering operations. “It is to assess the potential of a trade corridor and forecast trade flow at the Presidio Port of Entry.” Impacts of foreign imports and freight diversion from other ports of entry with Mexico will be assessed and used to determine the impact at Presidio, according to Saenz. “Once a realistic trade number is determined, then –and only then– can local and regional impacts on the Texas roadway network be assessed,” he said. “If the forecasted trade flow at the Presidio Port of Entry is significant over the next 25 years, this study will help form a plan that will minimize the impacts to the area,” explained Saenz. “If the forecasted trade flow is relatively low, then the study will be modified to only address safety and local mobility needs.” He said that the study is designed to identify existing local and regional impacts in the study area and plan for any future needs expected to occur as a result of continued growth in the region and the potential impact of trade flows from Presidio. “Due to funding limitations and competition from other projects statewide, a plan is needed that addresses mobility deficiencies and is sensitive to the environmental and community vision,” said Saenz. We are still fairly early in the study process and no outcome has been determined,” said Saenz. Public involvement is a significant part of the process and we greatly appreciate input we have received already.” -30- Note to reporters: The attached report provides a more detailed look at the level of information that will be evaluated in this study. The Texas Department of Transportation Transportation Planning and Programming Division, Odessa and El Paso Districts PROJECT INFORMATION La Entrada al Pacifico Corridor Feasibility Study Process Summary July 2007 INTRODUCTION The La Entrada al Pacifico Corridor Feasibility Study represents an effort on the part of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Planning and Programming Division, the Odessa District of TxDOT and the El Paso District of TxDOT to investigate the potential of a trade corridor in west Texas, determine its impacts to local and regional mobility and recommend improvements. The purpose of this study is not to promote a trade corridor. The original La Entrada al Pacifico (LEAP) designated corridor was founded on the potential modal interrelationships of international trade and the ability to move freight internal to Mexico and from the pacific coast ports of Mexico through the Presidio, Texas Port of Entry. While the original trade corridor has been defined by state and federal designations, other route alternatives will be analyzed as well to identify needs based on forecasted local and regional demand. TxDOT has committed to investigate the feasibility of connections between the Texas and Mexico transportation systems accessing the Mexican Pacific coast at Topolobampo. The following process is being applied to the current study. STUDY PROCESS The study process for the La Entrada al Pacifico Project includes four main pieces; Data Collection, Travel Demand Modeling, Alternatives Identification/Screening, Corridor Development Plan. Each of these areas will seek feedback from the general public as well as the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) in order to communicate information, solicit feedback and adjust the study direction accordingly. Data Collection First and foremost, the LEAP Study Team is researching and developing an existing conditions baseline for the designated study area. This includes several items as listed below (but not limited to): • Demographic and Socioeconomic information which includes statistics by county: historic population and population projections, employment data, disadvantaged population research, existing activity and employment centers, major transportation generators (existing and planned), intermodal facilities (existing and planned), NAFTA/international trade flow characteristics and patterns and proposed development and land use plans. • Environmental Data including cultural resources, urban vs. rural land use, hazardous materials sites, threatened and endangered species, water resources, geology, floodplains, wetlands, upland vegetation resources, and potential 4(f) and 6(f) issues. • Economic data including looking at trade flows and patterns between Asia, Mexico and the United States and analyzing future improvements to infrastructure in Mexico, etc. to determine probabilities of trade flow (movement of goods) shifts and how they will affect traffic flows. • Safety, Engineering and Mobility Data that will include historic traffic data and future year projections, accident data, roadway/rail inventories (includes existing right of way, number of lanes, cross sectional elements, major structures inventory, at-grade railroad crossings and analysis of existing designs), obtaining road construction unit cost data, roadway operation and maintenance (O&M) cost data, rail construction and improvement cost data and researching planned highway/rail improvements. Travel Demand Modeling The LEAP Study Team is focused on the development of an accurate traffic and freight baseline to be utilized to develop year 2030 forecast volumes that reflect the impacts of all the information collected during the data collection stage. This is a critical task in the study process and requires analysis on a regional as well as a local level. The scope of this study is not only to determine the forecasted freight volume at the Presidio Port of Entry based on realistic assumptions, but to also determine the local mobility needs of cities within the study area today as well as in the future. It is the responsibility of the LEAP Study Team to develop and calibrate a multimodal traffic model for forecasting future passenger and freight traffic demand on the No-Build (as-is) network along with other build (improvements to existing or new location) alternatives. The traffic forecast will allow the team to accurately determine if improvements are needed within the study area and to recommend when those improvements will be implemented. The travel demand model (used for developing the existing and future traffic numbers) will reflect the impact of global economics and will be used to assess needs in the study area. In order to assess these needs, the study team will investigate how and where goods are traveling and how and where they will travel in the future. The LEAP Study Team process will be applied to accurately assess the impacts of several key drivers including, but not limited to: • Port of Entry (POE) Freight Diversion from other area Ports of Entry o Congestion level/process time/wait time at potentially competing POEs o Distance/travel time from various key origins/destinations to other POEs and Presidio POE o Influence of other POEs (Santa Teresa, El Paso, Fabens, Zaragoza, Laredo, Del Rio, Eagle Pass) o Future potential and planned expansion of other and Presidio POEs • Port of Long Beach (PLB) and Port of Los Angeles (PLA) trade diversion o Congestion and capacity at PLB and PLA o Future Expansion plans at PLB and PLA (Port & Roadway) o Distance/travel time from PLB/PLA to Texas o Influence of other competing seaports (Mexican Pacific Coast, Houston, Baja) o Distribution of diverted trade traffic to other Mexican seaports – This element will evaluate the impacts to the study considering a scenario with and without improvements at Topolabampo o Expansion plans and capacity of Mexican seaports o Mexican Customs, procedures and infrastructure • Internal Mexico trade generation o Impact of Mexican economy and industry on cross-border trade o Maquiladoras impacts on POE crossing o Transportation labor market and other transportation sensitive economic sectors o Competition with other POEs • Panama Canal expansion and anticipated impacts on Mexican ports and PLB and PLA freight flows After accurate assumptions are

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Committee Interim Charge Number One: Evaluate the impact of NAFTA on the Texas economy and determine how different segments of the economy are affected. Committee Interim Charge Number Two: Determine how NAFTA has affected employment and identify any employment losses or gains. Assess how the state's workforce programs have responded to any employment changes and make any necessary recommendations to improve that response. Committee Interim Charge Number Three: Assess the impact NAFTA is having on the state's infrastructure, including but not limited to transportation, education, housing, the environment and health and human services. Committee Interim Charge Number Four: Develop a statewide strategic response plan to the effects of NAFTA in Texas which identifies available and needed resources at the local, state and federal level and provides a coordinated response. Lieutenant Governor Bob Bullock created the Senate Interim Committee on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in August 1997 to study the impact of NAFTA on the State of Texas. The central purpose of the Committee’s charges from the Lieutenant Governor was to determine if NAFTA has had an impact on the Texas economy and infrastructure, and if so, what we might do on a state level to address those affects.

  • Trans-National Commercial - Industrial
    TRANS-NATIONAL COMMERCIAL - INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT PROSPECT Quietly nestled within the tranquil town of Presidio, Texas lies a unique opportunity for the development of a commercial – industrial complex perfectly positioned to take advantage of rapidly increasing interest in international commerce in this remote region. Brief History and Background of Presidio - Ojinaga Presidio and its sister city of Ojinaga, Mexico are located at the confluence of the Rio Grande and Rio Conchos in the middle of the Chihuahuan desert. The community is ancient by U.S. standards, with the surrounding area being the oldest continuously cultivated area in the United States. Indigenous farmers have lived at Presidio since 1500 B.C. and by 1400 A.D. the area Indians lived in small pueblos along the river. The first European to arrive was Cabeza de Vaca, reaching Presidio in 1535. The Spanish began to settle the region and were the only foreigners until the first wave of white settlers came to the area after the Mexican war in 1848. Even so, it was largely Comanche territory until the end of the century when it fell into the hands of Pancho Villa in 1914. The advent of modern civilization came with the arrival of the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway in 1930. In 1986, the Texas Department of Transportation replaced the old wooden bridge on the Rio Grande with a 7 span, 2 lane bridge that greatly expanded Presidio as a the only port of entry between El Paso and Del Rio – a distance of some 380 miles. The economy has traditionally been agriculturally based with cattle being the major export from Mexico and produce such as cantaloupe and onions representing the largest part of crops on the irrigated land on both sides of the river.
