Despite the headline, it sounds like there aren't any definite plans yet.

San Diego and Tijuana plan cross-border LRT
MUNICIPAL authorities in San Diego, California, and the neighbouring city of Tijuana in the Mexican state of Baja California have revived plans for a light rail line spanning the US-Mexican border.
San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce president Mr Jerry Sanders told local media: "That's one of our top priorities. It's very complex, obviously, when you have two governments, two state governments, two city governments, and MTS [Metropolitan Transit System]. But I think it can be done."
There are also complications involving the use of the infrastructure by freight trains. In December 2012 MTS leased a portion of the route to short line Pacific Imperial Railroad, which could make separation of freight and light rail operations a necessity to comply with US federal safety requirements.
However, Sanders says business leaders and political officials in both countries are actively urging theestablishment of cross-border light rail services, noting that the San Diego – Baja railway was also among the top concerns discussed during a recent trade trip to Mexico City sponsored by the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce.
