A Snapshot of the Border million in 1990 to 3.7 million in 2000, during the decade of rapid economic and population growth (Figure 2). In 2000, just more than 1.3 million vehicles were registered in Mexican border cities (Figure 3). A significant source of mobile air pollution is emissions from vehicles delayed at the border <strong>for</strong> inspection and <strong>for</strong> general entry into the country. Truck crossings at Texas border towns have increased since 1990, particularly at Laredo (Figure 4). Vehicles Figure 2.
