Master Planning
The Campus Master Plan documents all current and planned development for the campus. The most recent Campus Master Plan was approved by the Board of Trustees of the CSU on May 16, 2017 as a re-approval of a 2007 Campus Master Plan with modifications. The EIR for the 2007 Campus Master Plan was also recertified at this meeting. The current Campus Master Plan includes an increase in the campus enrollment ceiling from 25,000 FTE to 35,000 FTE and six site specific projects. Modifications to this plan also include a number of major and minor revisions and updates made to the Campus Master Plan since 2007 and approved by the trustees or by the Executive Vice Chancellor through delegated authority.

Transportation and Parking Planning
Planning Design and Construction collaborates with Parking and Transportation Services to plan for parking and transportation options that serve the campus community and support our campus transportation demand management goals.
With the completion of the Metropolitan Transportation System Transit Center at SDSU in 2005, the campus has greatly expanded public transportation options. The transit center is centrally located at the heart of the campus and is severed by the MTS Trolley Green Line and seven bus routes. Discounted monthly and semester transit passes are available for students.
Other alternatives to driving include bicycling, carpooling or vanpooling and rideshare. Information on all of these alterntives can be found at Parking and Transportation Services' Commuting and Transportation website.
In the last few years, the campus has implemented a variety of bicycle accommodations on campus, including:
- Created on-campus Class I separated bike paths along Campanile Mall between Hardy Avenue and Hilltop Way and along Aztec Walk between the Union and Viejas Arena (2010)
- Inatalled four on-campus bicycle maintenance stations (2016)
- Created Class II bike lanes along College Avenue between Montezuma Road and Zura Way (2017)
- Installed shared lane markings on Aztec Circle Drive (2018)
- Partnered with ofo bikes for a pilot dockless bike program with reduced rates for students (2018)
Information on parking locations and permit options is available at Parking and Transportation Services
An interactive campus map is also available to assist with navigating the campus.
