The Fall 2015 freshman class marked the 18th consecutive year Texas State set a record high enrollment, according to the university's Office of Media Relations.  Commuters want a reliable to get to class on time.
They have the option to purchase parking permits that cost up to 400 dollars, but have one doesn't guarantee a spot.

Construction zones are also affecting the available parking space and bus routes for students living off campus.  The Transportation Services division says about 285 parking spaces are temporarily UNavailable because of construction.
