Many Texas State students confront parking woes on a daily basis. John Spain
has more on this Bobcat Update.

Over the last several years, parking in San Marcos, and especially on the campus
of Texas State University has become an increasingly valuable commodity. Some
students find parking restrictions and the possible fines which accompany them,
an unnecessary and unwelcome strain on an already limited college budget.

Still, some students find alternate modes of transportation, such as the Texas
State Tram, or optional carpool designated areas to be well-tailored to their
daily routine and distance from campus. Even so, many commuters who purchase a
purple pass still find themselves searching for a place to park.

The new Matthews Street parking garage is set to open this spring, but it's
still likely not going to be enough. The university's enrollment has increased
significantly, now reaching just over 31-thousand students. It's entirely
possible that the complaints and congestion on campus will only get worse..
