Calexico East Commercial Vehicle Appointment System

Learn about the proposed Commercial Vehicle Appointment System and the development of its Concept of Operations.

Project Summary

Planning for Commercial Vehicle Operations at Calexico East

The Calexico East Land Port of Entry (POE) is a vital commercial gateway projected to see a 40% increase in truck traffic by 2050. To proactively address anticipated congestion and its commercial and environmental impacts, installation of a Commercial Vehicle Appointment System has been proposed. The proposed initiative is aimed at directly addressing inefficiencies at the port of entry and the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Facility.

The objective of this project is to develop a comprehensive Concept of Operations (ConOps) document for this effort that will provide the preliminary technical and operational blueprint for the new system, which could be replicated at land ports of entry across the nation.

The ConOps will serve two main purposes:

  1. Establish scalable project concepts for a Commercial Vehicle Appointment System.
  2. Develop the technological architecture, system concepts, integration with the Caltrans District 11 Transportation Management Center, and various operational scenarios of the system.

The project team will work in close collaboration with a Project Development Team (PDT) and will conduct stakeholder engagement to identify the needs and priorities of stakeholder groups, including those involved in cross-border commercial transport.
