There are safety concerns here which include the database deficiencies that prevent the Department of Transportation inspectors from being able to accurately gather information on truckdriver convictions and driving violations. vehicle accident reports. and insurance records. The inspector general confirms that these databases are still under development. The Department of Transportation report does not respond to these issues. The inspector general report also states that the Department of Transportation has not developed and implemented adequate plans for checking trucks and drivers participating in the demonstration project as they cross the border. The DOT report responded by stating they created bordercrossing plans with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Well. that is hardly an assurance of safety. We do want to have good relations with Mexico.
