Student & Staff Parking Information

As we continue our bond-related campus improvements, construction will continue to impact student parking for the 2026–2027 school year. Because available spaces remain limited, we have developed a structured plan to ensure parking is distributed fairly. You must be a licensed driver to purchase a parking permit. 

Phase 1: Expression of Interest (All Seniors & Juniors)

All rising seniors and juniors who intend to drive to campus next year must complete an "Interest Form" via Google Forms.  Rising seniors and juniors will receive the “Interest Form” in their school inbox in May.  

Note: Completing this form is a required first step and does not guarantee a permit.

Phase 2: Senior Priority Window

Rising licensed seniors who completed the interest form will have the first opportunity to purchase permits.

• Window Opens: Monday, July 6 at 9:00 a.m. (You will not receive an email. Please proceed to portal to purchase)
• Window Closes: Sunday, July 19 at 5:00 p.m.

Phase 3: Junior & Remaining Senior Lottery

On Monday, July 20 at 9:00 a.m., any remaining permits will be distributed via a randomized lottery. This lottery includes:

1. Any licensed seniors who missed the initial priority window.
2. All licensed juniors who submitted an interest form.

Important Details

• Notification: Students selected in the lottery will receive an email with specific purchase instructions.
• Waitlist: If demand exceeds capacity, we will maintain a waitlist and issue permits if and when spots become available.
• Permit Pick Up: Seniors can pickup their parking permit on Monday, Aug. 10th from 1:00-4:00 and Juniors can pick up on Tuesday, Aug. 11th from 9:00-11:00AM in the main cafeteria. The following MUST be presented at pickup: driver's license, proof of insurance, confirmation of drug testing registration. 
• Sophomore Parking: Due to construction, we cannot guarantee parking for sophomores. We will reassess availability only after all senior and junior requests have been processed.

We understand that limited parking can be a challenge. We appreciate your patience and flexibility as we work to improve our facilities for all Cavaliers.

The Lake Travis Independent School District provides transportation for students to and from
the campus to which they are assigned based on residence. Since student transportation is
provided by the school district, the operation of a motor vehicle by students on campus is a
privilege. The retention of this privilege is based on compliance with state motor vehicle laws
and school board policies, and administrative regulations that govern students. Violation of
these laws, policies, and regulations will result in the loss of the privilege of operating a motor
vehicle on campus and other disciplinary actions as appropriate.

Parking On Campus

Students parking on campus must clearly display the parking decal on the driver side of the
windshield. The decal must be visible and properly affixed to the windshield. No taping or
temporarily displaying of the decal is accepted. Lake Travis High School does not reserve
individual parking spots. Students are to park in student parking spots only. Designated staff,
visitors, and administration parking spots are not for student use.

Permit Purchase

Senior Permits may be requested via the Google forms shared with students in May.  A request for a
parking pass on the form does not guarantee a parking spot, however, a form must be
completed to obtain a parking permit. If permits are still available after the initial senior purchase, requests will be rolled into the lottery system for Juniors and Seniors. Once all parking permits have been sold, the Lake Travis High School administration will maintain a running list to support the
continued distribution of parking passes as they become available.

In order to purchase a permit, a student must have cleared all prior obligations with the school and registered for the Student Drug Testing Program, which is mandatory for high school students who obtain a parking pass. 

Students are responsible for their permits. The replacement of a parking permit will be the
original purchase price.

Students may not give, sell, or transfer their permit to another student. Students may not copy
or alter any parking permit. Selling, or copying of permits, as well as distribution of fake permits,
will result in the loss of parking privileges.

Parking Lot Regulations

The speed limit on campus is 15 mph.

As per Parking Lot Regulations, LTISD cannot be held responsible for any vehicle and will not
guarantee any vehicle’s safekeeping. This includes any contents in the vehicle.

Vehicles must be parked only in designated parking spaces between the designated lines.

Students are not to park on grass or other landscaped areas; in Fire Zones; Loading and
Unloading Zones; Drop Off/Pick Up Only Areas; Bus Loading Zones; or Staff, Visitor, or
Administrative spaces.

Students are not allowed to sit in their vehicless during the instructional day. 

Illegally parked cars will receive a ticket and may be booted or towed at the owner's expense.

Students may only park in handicapped spaces with a legal placard, obtained by a physician
and the Texas DMV. The handicapped tag needs to be assigned to that student. Parking in a
handicapped space without proper credentials will result in a citation.

Lunch - Seniors, with proper sticker identification on their student ID and parental permission
slips on file, are the only students allowed to leave for off-campus lunch privileges. Students leaving
campus for lunch without proper documentation are subject to suspension of parking privileges
or school disciplinary actions.

Consequences

Any student found abusing the parking permit regulations by sharing, trading, selling, or
otherwise transferring the permit will have their permits revoked and be subject to disciplinary
action.

Failure to abide by any policy or regulation of the Lake Travis Independent School District or any
state law regarding vehicle operation may result in loss of the privilege of operating a vehicle on
campus. When a privilege is lost, the permit must be removed from the vehicle and returned to
the parking office located in the Link at Lake Travis High School. There will be no monetary
refund. Lake Travis High School reserves the right to revoke or suspend a parking permit at any
time.

Determination of disciplinary action for any violation will be the responsibility of the school
principal or designee. The administration of disciplinary action will be conducted in the same
manner as that administered for a violation of other school rules or violations of the LTISD
Student Code of Conduct.

Students will have three (3) school days from the date a ticket was issued to appeal the citation.

Improper display of parking stickers will result in a $10.00 fine until remedied. All other parking fines are $30.00. Parking fines are payable with the parking staff at the parking office, or using the link provided on your citation.

Students with four (4) or more tickets are subject to being booted and/or towed. The student is
responsible for paying any towing fees plus any outstanding tickets. When a vehicle is booted,
the fine for removal is $40.00 plus the cost of the outstanding tickets. Repeat violators may have
parking privileges revoked for the current and/or future school years.

Lake Travis High School Parking

Parking on the Lake Travis High School campus is a privilege. All students who purchase a
