While these are not easily walkable, rideshare services are readily available in town, including GoZone, an inexpensive corner-to-corner rideshare service that is part of the Denton County Transit Authority. We recommend booking hotels early due to demand surrounding graduation ceremonies. User reviews via Google or other booking sites can be highly informative in determining the quality of a hotel. +
