Parking is available at the circuit, with passes typically on sale for single days in Lot F or for all 3 days of a race weekend in Lots G-R.
Official park and ride services are offered from both on-site and off-site locations. The on-site lots are closer to the entrance gates, but generally more expensive. Free shuttle buses are provided for fans with off-site parking passes, although these do not always run on a reliable schedule.
Several independent lots and private residences near the circuit offer cheaper parking than the official options, with many passes available to purchase on the day. Those located more than a mile from COTA typically offer shuttle bus services to and from the circuit.
During events, taxis and rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft operate out of the Del Valle High School parking lot. This lot is 3.5 miles from the circuit and can only be accessed by a complimentary COTA shuttle service, which does not need to be booked in advance. Taxis and rideshare vehicles are not allowed onto McAngus Road or COTA Blvd during race weekends.
Austin boasts a wide range of visitor accommodation, including budget hostels and apartments, chic contemporary and traditional hotels, and upscale spa resorts on the city’s western outskirts.

Shuttle bus services operate during major events at the circuit, including Grand Prix weekends. Buses usually begin their services at 08:00, with the last buses setting off for COTA at 18:30 on Friday and Saturday and 14:00 on Sunday. The last buses leave the circuit about an hour after the concerts end on Friday and Saturday, and until demand stops after the race on Sunday. As of 2022, there were 3 main routes:
Downtown Austin
East Austin
West Austin
The McAngus Lot at COTA is located approximately 15 minutes walk from the Grand Plaza entrance.
The Amtrak service Texas Eagle runs between Chicago and San Antonio, stopping in Austin. The eastbound train leaves San Antonio in early morning and arrives to Austin between 09:00 and 10:00. The westbound train leaves Chicago in the early afternoon and reaches Austin between 18:00 and 19:00 the following day.
The Austin Amtrak station is located at 250 N Lamar Blvd, approximately 20-30 minutes drive from COTA. Taxis and rideshare services are available at the station.
COTA is not located in a pedestrian-friendly area, so it is not advised to walk to the circuit. Although there are some unincorporated residential communities within 30 minutes walk, such as Elroy, the roads are not particularly safe for pedestrians, so even fans in these closer areas may prefer to take other means of transport.
