U.S. - Mexico Border Program Projects
About this Map
The U.S. - Mexico Border Program project map shows projects funded through the Border Program (2013-March 2023) in both Region 9 and Region 6 of the U.S. EPA, which include U.S. Federally recognized Tribal communities and states of Texas, New Mexico, Chihuahua, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, Coahuila, California, Baja California, Sonora, and Arizona within 62 miles of the U.S.-Mexico Border. The projects stem from the Border 2020 and 2025 frameworks.
Border 2025 has four goals: to reduce air pollution, improve access to clean water, promote materials and waste management, and improve emergency preparedness. Border 2020 had five goals: to reduce air pollution, improve access to clean water, promote materials and waste management, improve emergency preparedness and enhance environmental stewardship. There were also fundamental strategies that included children's health and environmental education and outreach. In Border 2025 the fundamental strategies have been changed to eleven guiding principles. For the purpose of consistency, the project layers will continue displaying “fundamental strategies” in place of “guiding principles”.
Individual projects are displayed according to the primary program goal. Projects in this program were implemented in coordination with the North American Development Bank.

Note: some points on the map have more than one project listed on the point. See in the snapshot of the map in the green box above, where there is a "pop-up box" associated with the point. Within that box use the arrow tool, scroll through the point for additional projects to show up or zoom into the map.
The Border 2020 project shape layer is final. The Border 2025 project shape layer will be updated throughout the Border 2025 Program. You can find additional details regarding projects highlighted on the map in the past Border 2020 accomplishment reports or any upcoming Border 2025 reports.
