San Ysidro Port of Entry

The San Ysidro Port of Entry processes over 50,000 vehicles and 25,000 pedestrians daily between San Diego and Tijuana, making it a crucial transit point.

The facility has expanded its operations since its initial construction to accommodate increasing cross-border movement and implement advanced security measures throughout the decades.

This port serves as a meeting point where communities from both sides of the border engage in commerce, family reunions, and cultural exchanges.

The four-story structure operates continuously with multiple lanes for vehicles and separate facilities for pedestrians crossing between the United States and Mexico.

Miller Hull Partnership designed the port with environmental considerations, incorporating natural ventilation systems and solar panels throughout the complex.
