TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY - COMMERCE  
Master Plans/Commerce, Texas


DeShazo Group provided the traffic engineering and parking elements for an update to the University’s master plan.  The goal was to provide an integrated transportation and parking demand strategy for the campus that addressed pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular circulation as well as parking.  The firm concluded that the University would continue to enjoy good vehicular access to the surrounding roadway network upon implementing the following recommendations.

• The University should encourage the City of Commerce to include sidewalk and lighting upgrades as a part of all future roadway reconstruction projects off campus.
• Beginning in 2022, an additional 250-400 spaces (in addition to those shown on the proposed master plan) will be required to serve the University’s parking need.
• The University should plan and implement an on-campus shuttle system immediately to serve the outlying parking areas and three particular residence halls.  The shuttle system would improve pedestrian safety, and increase the use of perimeter parking facilities.
