Baja California and California officials have started work on the 2028 update of the California–Baja California Border Master Plan, the binational document used to coordinate and prioritize transportation projects along the border, Uniradio Informa reported.
At a joint session in San Diego, the plan’s Policy Advisory Committee and Technical Working Group, which bring together Mexican and U.S. agencies, approved the founding charters of both groups. Rogelio Guzmán Obispo, director of territorial reorganization at Baja California’s infrastructure and urban development secretariat (SIDURT), was proposed as the state’s co-lead, working with Daniel Rivera of Caltrans.
According to the report, the plan’s priorities are shorter wait times, modernized ports of entry, security, regional competitiveness, and environmental sustainability and resilience. Its scope covers ports of entry and the roads that lead to them, as well as rail, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. The effort dates back to 2008, and a 2021 update identified 183 projects worth more than US$13.5 billion. SIDURT head Arturo Espinoza Jaramillo called the plan fundamental for coordinating key projects and said faster crossings would help people who cross daily for work, business and family.
What it means if you cross often
Nothing changes at the ports of entry yet: a master plan sets priorities for projects that take years to build. But the list that comes out of this update is where future crossings, lanes and pedestrian links get ranked, so it’s one to watch.
