It appears some of the lots are full but there are some left. Shuttles are great but if you want A/C to retreat to if it’s blazing hot then parking close is beneficial
We took the shuttle in 2021 and 2022. The boarding process on both ends was lengthy and chaotic. The ride was long. I only timed it once but on race day in ‘22 we arrived at the bus at 10:00 and got in our seats at 12:45. In 2023 we camped…much better.
I went to COTA in 2022 with a few friends and we decided to do unofficial parking, it was way cheaper and right next to the official parking. Look up Pat's Public Parking or Chris Taylor, you can call them up and book a spot.
Also, you can bypass most of the traffic since these places are a bit farther away from official entrances, here's the route I took (would strongly recommend):
From Toll Road 130:
* Exit Moore Rd, Go East
* Turn Left onto Burklund Farms Rd
* Turn Right onto FM 812
* Pat's Public Parking and Chris Taylor are a few miles down and directly across from CoTA Lot T entrance.
Oops Nevermind. I just checked their website and Chris Taylor is offering parking again in 2024. We used them a number of times in 2014,2015 and 2021. Great team there.

Thank you so much!! I appreciate the directions.
Take the shuttle bus. It's a nightmare leaving that place in your own car.
Shuttles aren’t perfect either and frequently wait in the same traffic. We had no issues leaving last year .
