Mitigación del impacto ambiental del transporte en los puertos de entrada terrestres de América del Norte
Situación actual: Concluido
Plan Operativo: 2013-2014
Aprovechando los logros de recientes iniciativas transfronterizas —como el programa Más Allá de la Frontera (Beyond the Border)— y una amplia participación de entidades de aduanas, transporte, relaciones exteriores y comercio de los tres países, esta iniciativa evaluará las emisiones vehiculares vinculadas con el tiempo de espera en la frontera. Asimismo, formulará opciones viables e integradas para reducir las emisiones vehiculares y pondrá a prueba el enfoque propuesto en puertos de entrada terrestres seleccionados en las fronteras Canadá-Estados Unidos y Estados Unidos-México.
Principales logros
- Produced a literature review of air emission reduction studies at North American land ports of entry and recommendations. The report will support future initiatives on reducing air emission at land ports of entry and inform areas for further research
- Completed studies of cross-border traffic wait times, air quality and health impacts at the Mexico-US (San Ysidro/El Chaparral) and the Canada-US (Pacific Highway) ports of entry with the support of twenty experts from the three countries
- Held two workshops at the selected ports of entry to present the study results. More than 80 key government stakeholders and experts invited by the steering committee participated
in these workshops
