Parking rates in effect are specified on the parking meter or pay station. Meters are not required to be utilized on Sundays and City observed holidays unless marked otherwise. It is not proper to deposit any coinage into the parking meters or pay stations other than those issued by the United States. It is also not proper to increase or extend the parking time for any vehicle at any metered space beyond the legal parking time established on the display of the meter or pay station.

 

• If payment is attempted at a meter after a vehicle has reached or exceeded its maximum stay per ordinances, the meter may accept payment but will not grant any additional time and will continue to display an expired condition to Parking Enforcement Officers.
• For more information about the rate of paid parking in Norman, please review the Parking Management Business Plans on the Parking Planning page.

Parking Map and Payment Methods

The link below opens to the online MyParking map. This interactive map not only marks where the City operated parking meters are located, but also provides the option to select a specific meter and process card payment as well. The meter number (for reporting problems), address where the meter is located, and the rate and hours for that specific meter are all displayed here as well. 

MyParking Map

Paying through the map is just one of multiple options for how to pay for metered parking. All individual meters and pay stations still accept US coins, but for those who prefer to pay with a card that technology is also available. Metered parking in Norman uses "pay by plate" technology which means you don't need a receipt or validation ticket. 

Flowbird Parking App

For users that park in metered parking on a regular basis, downloading the Flowbird app onto a cell phone may be the most convenient way to pay for parking. In the Flowbird app users can securely save card data and license plate data to streamline the process of paying for parking. In a few quick steps users can select the closest meter, which license plate is parked, how long the vehicle will stay, and which card will be used to pay. The app also allows you to set a reminder for when your time will expire and even to add time (if available) without returning to the meter or your vehicle.

Additionally, since the City of Norman and the University of Oklahoma have the same Flowbird pay stations, this same parking app is universal across Norman.

Text to Pay (727563)

For users that only park in metered parking infrequently, or would rather not download the Flowbird app, a similar process is available without saving your card or license plate data. Users can check the closest meter to where they parked for that meter's code (example: ParkNorm00) and send the code via a text message to 727563. Users will receive a response with a link to the same payment system used in the MyParking Map above for the specific meter where the vehicle is parked.  

Types of Meters and Pay Stations

All of the metered parking in Norman can be paid using the Flowbird App or Text-to-Pay methods listed above, but making payments at the meter or pay station directly will differ slightly depending on what type of meter is available. If you believe that a meter is malfunctioning please notify the Transit and Parking staff by emailing transit@normanok.gov

Flowbird pay stations are the most common meter style available in Norman and have replaced nearly all of the individual meters that were previously used. As mentioned above regarding the Flowbird app, this same model is also used across the University of Oklahoma campus to facilitate universal access. An instructional video for how to use the solar powered Flowbird pay station kiosk can be found at the link below. 

How To Use Flowbird Pay Stations

Individual meters are still in use on Buchanan Ave north of Boyd St. due to the sporadic and spaced apart nature of on-street parking in that area. These individual meters are solar powered just like the Flowbird pay stations and are still capable of receiving coin or card payments, as well as being accessible with the Flowbird App or Text-to-Pay options. An instructional video for how to use the individual M5 Smart Meters can be found at the link below.
