Texas A&M University Accessible Parking Study

Texas A&M University Transportation Services contracted with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to complete a study to determine 1) if the campus has the correct total number of accessible parking spaces, 2) ensure that these accessible parking spaces are located appropriately, and 3) determine the compliance of existing accessible parking spaces to current standards. Additionally, accessible parking for non-standard campus events was reviewed and a procedure for adding future accessible parking spaces will be developed. One result of this study was approval by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to calculate accessible space needs based on a unique, “Zone” approach.

Semi-Annual Reminder RE: Disabled Parking Space Use–Notice

We send this notice campus-wide twice per year to help educate about the need to save accessible parking spaces for customers authorized to use them. At times, we send it in advance of enforcement events where we partner with campus police to target enforcement in areas that tend to be more problematic. We also deploy temporary signs moved from area to area to help raise awareness.
