MUNGARAY MOCTEZUMA, Alejandro  and  URENA FRANCES, José María. El papel de las redes de caminos en los desplazamientos laborales trasfronterizos de Tijuana a San Diego. Región y sociedad [online]. 2015, vol.27, n.64, pp.71-108. ISSN 2448-4849.

A survey was applied to 11 urban community sectors and one representative population sample from the city of Tijuana regarding border employment in cities within San Diego County, in order to study commuting phenomena via the main border ports of entry (BPE). It was concluded that most employees reside near the BPE, and the majority of workplaces are concentrated in five cities close to the border. The network commuters use to access their workplaces is efficient and includes pedestrians who use the collective transportation systems on the U. S. side to reach workplaces close to the border, to commuters who use vehicles to get to workplaces located farther away.

Keywords : road networks; commuting transborder space; border ports of entry; transborder employment; transport  systems.
