Texas-Mexico Multimodal Transportation and Socioeconomic Indicators

摘要

The report documents most of this project's first objective, namely, to updateand expand the TRANSBORDER data base. The report discusses all relevant data collected and organized in this project, with the exception of international bridge demand and U.S.-Mexico overland commerce data, which warranted a separate report (Report 2932-2). This report includes Texas-Mexico multimodal traffic data (rail, airborne, and waterborne), socioeconomic indicators, truck weight analyses, and energy consumption within the transportation sector. For each type of data, we document and discuss data collection procedures, the different data sources, and practical applications of those data.
