#SICT.– The signing ceremony of the Revenue Collection and Distribution Agreement for the new Mesa de II – Otay Mesa East port of entry took place today in Mexico City. Representing the Government of Mexico were Jorge Nuño, Undersecretary of Infrastructure and head of the Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) and Roberto Velasco, head of the North American Unit of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE); on behalf of the government of the State of California, Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis; and Todd Gloria, Mayor of San Diego and Vice President of the San Diego Association of Governments.

This afternoon’s signing follows up on the agreements of the Memorandum of Understanding signed in June 2021, which established the intention of both countries to collaborate in the implementation of a strategy for traffic congestion management and revenue collection based on variable tolls, whose fee will be collected in both northbound and southbound directions, through a single collection point that would be located in the state of California, United States.

Jorge Nuño Lara, SICT’s Deputy Secretary of Infrastructure, emphasized that the new Mesa de Otay II international border crossing and port will generate significant savings in operating costs by having a single facility, specifically a single toll booth on the U.S. side, and, above all, significant time savings for users.
