The map (in full color) is provided to all faculty, staff, and students when requested from Parking Services. The purpose of the map is to show available parking on campus by permit designation. Black and white and color maps may be purchased by Texas State departments from Print and Mail Services.
The coordinator of Facilities Inventory and the coordinator of Marketing and Promotions for Transportation Services will update the map as needed pending information received from Transportation Services and Facilities. The coordinator of Facilities Inventory will provide a digital map file to Print and Mail Services. Approval of the map by the associate director of Parking Services and director of Transportation Services must be received before the map is printed for distribution.

The purpose of the Bobcat Shuttle Stops and Routes map is to identify shuttle stops and routes for the San Marcos Campus. The coordinator of Marketing and Promotions for Transportation Services will be responsible for maintaining these maps. The coordinator of Facilities Inventory will assist as necessary.
Maps and routes can be found on the Bobcat Shuttle website.
The coordinator of Marketing and Promotions for Transportation Services will update the maps anytime permanent route or stop changes are made. All route changes, except for re-routes due to infrastructure maintenance or emergency situations, must be approved by the director of Transportation Services before modified maps are distributed.
CAMPUS BASE MAP
The campus base map will be maintained by the Geographic Information System (GIS) technician in the Office of Facilities Planning, Design and Construction.
This map identifies university-owned land assets and infrastructure. It is maintained using AutoCAD and Geographic Information Systems. A variety of map information, including legal property descriptions, plat surveys, and cartographic field methods are incorporated into the base map.
The GIS technician will update the base map when new land assets are acquired, when notified by the Real Estate Manager, or when major changes to existing infrastructure are completed.
