Land ports of entry (LPOEs) between the U.S. and Mexico are vital for trade, with nearly seven million trucks crossing in 2021. Truck parking — a major issue in the U.S. — also affects border crossings, particularly in urbanized areas like El Paso-Ciudad Juárez. This region hosts numerous industries on both sides of the border — including Mexican maquiladoras and suppliers — making efficient freight movement crucial. The lack of safe parking and warehousing impacts traffic congestion and wait times at LPOEs, which, in turn, affects the timely exchange of goods. This study explores the connection between truck parking, warehousing and border-crossing times using crowdsourced data and satellite imaging. By identifying correlations, the research aims to inform strategies to improve cross-border freight movement, reduce congestion and enhance economic ties between the U.S. and Mexico.
