A review of the Dept. of Transportation¿s (DoT) ongoing North Amer. Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) cross-border trucking demonstration project (DP), at the conclusion of the first year of the project. This report determines whether: (1) the DP consists of a representative and adequate sample of Mexico-domiciled carriers likely to engage in cross-border operations beyond the U.S. municipalities and commercial zones on the U.S.-Mexico border; (2) DoT has established sufficient mechanisms to determine whether the DP is adversely affecting motor carrier safety; and (3) Fed. and state monitoring and enforcement activities are sufficient to ensure that participants in the DP are complying with all applicable laws and regulations.

As part of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), commercial trucks from Mexico were to be allowed to travel throughout the United States beginning in January 2000. Because of concerns about the safety of these vehicles, the United States has limited Mexican truck operations to commercial zones near the border. In February 2001, a NAFTA arbitration panel ruled that the United States blanket refusal to process applications by Mexican trucking companies to provide cross-border services beyond the commercial zones violated its NAFTA obligations. The panel noted, however, that the United States could require Mexican motor carriers to meet U.S. safety requirements. In February 2001, the administration announced that it would give Mexican trucks access to all U.S. highways by January 2002. The Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2002, enacted in December 2001, provided increased funding for safety activities related to Mexican motor carriers and set forth a series of requirements that the Department of Transportation (DOT) must meet before Mexican trucks can travel beyond the commercial zones.

As part of our ongoing audit of the cross-border trucking demonstration project, initiated by the Department on September 6, 2007, this report presents the interim results of our required review. Section 6901 of the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 20071 (the Act) requires us to provide interim and final reports on the demonstration project to Congress and the Secretary of Transportation. As required by the Act, our audit objectives were to determine whether: (1) the demonstration project consists of a representative and adequate sample of Mexico-domiciled carriers likely to engage in cross-border operations beyond the United States municipalities and commercial zones on the United States-Mexico border, (2) the Department has established sufficient mechanisms to determine whether the demonstration project is adversely affecting motor carrier safety, and (3) Federal and state monitoring and enforcement activities are sufficient to ensure that participants in the demonstration project are complying with all applicable laws and regulations.
