These groups will participate in the development of a Border Master Plan—a comprehensive approach for coordinating planning and delivery of Port of Entry (POE) and transportation infrastructure projects serving POEs in the California-Baja California region. Ideally the approach and methodologies identified in the Border Master Plan would be incorporated into the respective planning and programming processes of the individual participating agencies at the federal, state, regional, and local levels in the U.S. and Mexico. LINE OF REPORTING The Policy Advisory Committee and the Technical Working Group will report to Caltrans and SIDUE for the development of the California-Baja California Border Master Plan. Caltrans and SIDUE, in turn, report to the U.S. / Mexico Joint Working Committee for this project. RESPONSIBILITIES The Policy Advisory Committee will be responsible for providing direction, approving the study parameters, and establishing criteria for future evaluation of projects. Proposed objectives of Policy Advisory Committee are outlined below: • Establish clear parameters for the Border Master Plan such as defining the “Border Region” for the purposes of this study, as well as the time horizon for data analysis and other issues needing
