Transportation
Types of Transportation Available to Campus
Public transportation has to be in place for communities of the Rio South Texas region to have options for alternative transportation. There are currently collaborative efforts among UTPA, the City of Edinburg, the City of McAllen, and the Housing of Urban Development (HUD) to pursue a regional planning grant focused on sustainable communities to include transportation and housing. This grant would help create public transportation options for the local and campus communities, and shape more sustainable development in the region. Many students come to campus as a single-rider in a vehicle, but a small amount also walk, car/van-pool, ride the bus, and cycle. The closest airport is McAllen International Airport (MFE).
Driving Instructions to Campus
The UT Pan American main campus is located at 1201 W. University Drive in Edinburg, Texas, some 230 miles south of San Antonio, 145 miles southwest of Corpus Christi and 340 miles southwest of Houston.
