House panel OKs 100 Mexican carriers for pilot program

“Up to 1,000 Mexican trucks and buses would be permitted to cross the border and use U.S. roadways for the next three years under a bill endorsed by a House panel today, May 2. The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee voted 66-0 to restrict U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters to opening the border to 100 carriers based in Mexico. They would be allowed to use a maximum of 1,000 vehicles under the pilot program.”
