Outlook

With the freshest border pull still showing multi-hour waits at San Ysidro and 90-minute delays at Otay Mesa passenger, dispatchers should continue to expect congestion on the San Diego corridor. Several 24-hour improvements are material, especially at Laredo World Trade and Hidalgo, but current conditions remain uneven and corridor-specific.
