The document summarizes Colorado's trading relationships with Mexico from 2004-2010, broken down by truck and rail trade through major ports like Laredo, Eagle Pass, and Del Rio. It shows that over 80% of total trade with Mexico passed through Laredo, characterized by high truck trade volumes, while Eagle Pass had a more significant portion of rail trade. Del Rio accounted for a negligible share of total trade. Overall, Colorado's trade with Mexico declined slightly from 2004-2010, with truck exports through Laredo decreasing nearly 30% and comprising a smaller portion of total exports.
