How to use Smarter Parking in OU Innovate
Smarter Parking in OU Innovate features each lot conveniently located on one map. A quick glance at the map shows available parking. Lots in green have the most spaces, yellow lots are beginning to fill up and red shows lots that are already full.
Also, you can click on each lot to see the exact number of spaces available. Pro tip: If one lot is showing only a few spaces available, and another lot is showing plenty of available spaces then it is likely a better choice to go to the lot with the more parking.
*OU Parking Services does NOT want you using the app while you are driving. It is the best practice to look at available parking in the app before you leave for class or stop and look once you are near campus.
FAQ
Where can I park?
A. Commuter students can park in commuter and multipurpose lots, which include Jenkins-Brooks (C4), Monnett-Brooks (C8), University-Boyd (C1) and Duck Pond (MP4). Additionally, all faculty/staff lots except OCCE and Couch are available to commuter students at 4 pm. Faculty/staff may park in faculty/staff and multipurpose lots.
Why aren’t the Elm and Asp garages included in the app?
A. The app features surface lots with definitive entry and exit points currently. The parking garages require a different kind of technology that is very sophisticated to implement. We are exploring options for both garages and on-street parking and will add those areas as we can.
What do I do if all the lots are full?
A. If all lots are full, the Lloyd Noble Center shuttle is always a quick, convenient option to get to campus. OU Innovate features LNC at the very bottom of the map, and if you click on it then it will show you how long it takes to get to class on the shuttle.
OU adds free electric vehicle charging for parking permit-holders
EVcharging
The University of Oklahoma now has charging for electric vehicle (EV) drivers to plug in and power up. As part of our commitment to supporting sustainable programs, we’re excited to partner with ChargePoint to install our first electric vehicle charging station.
The ChargePoint network is the world’s largest online network of independently owned and
operated EV charging stations with more than 26,000 charging stations worldwide, providing drivers access to charge on the go.
How to charge:
• Location: Three Partners Place, 201 David L. Boren Blvd., Norman, OK 73072. The charging station is located in the north parking lot, southeast wall.
• Parking: Charging station parking is reserved for electric vehicles only in three-hour
increments.
• Charging: There is no cost to OU faculty, staff and students with a valid OU Norman campus parking permit. This charging station is only for OU faculty, staff, students and others affiliated with OU who carry a valid parking permit.
Start charging:
• If you already are a ChargePoint member, you should
go online to submit the university’s code, OKLAHOMAEV, or apply for membership at www.chargepoint.com or on the mobile app for iPhone or Android. Your ChargePoint card should arrive in five to seven business days.
• When the university is open for business, activation of card use at the OU station should take 24 hours or less.
• Once you have approval, hold your ChargePoint card over the station’s reader symbol.
• After the station authorizes you, remove the charging station’s connector by pressing down on the button at the top of the handle while pulling the connector from the holster.
• Plug the connector into your electric vehicle. The station will display a message indicating the vehicle is charging.
• Questions? Watch the Charging On The Go video.
Mobile and online features unique to ChargePoint include: see real-time station availability on the ChargePoint; get mobile alerts (charging available, interrupted or complete); track your gasoline savings and green footprint; review your charging sessions and manage payments.
