During the first four months of 2025, freight transport services from Tijuana to the United States have decreased by 40%, reported Israel Delgado Vallejo, vice president of the Northwest region of the National Chamber of Freight Transportation (Canacar).
He mentioned that this decline is a result of the uncertainty generated by the speeches and economic policies of United States President Donald Trump.
He noted that of the 4,400 freight trucks that cross daily into the United States through the Otay export zone, only a little over 2,300 have been registered this year.
Regarding the use of the Otay II port of entry infrastructure, the vice president of Canacar mentioned that it is a wise move, as it will provide greater security for drivers and freight, in addition to reducing traffic congestion on Bellas Artes Boulevard.
He indicated that the transportation sector has been promoting the use of this 6.5-kilometer infrastructure while the United States completes its portion of the project across the border and operations begin at this new border port.
