Stavanger Parkering

What Stavanger Parkering does

Stavanger Parkering KF is a municipal parking enterprise (Kommunalt Foretak) wholly owned by Stavanger Municipality, operating public parking infrastructure and enforcing parking regulations across Stavanger, Norway. The company manages 11+ parking facilities totaling approximately 2,600 spaces, including flagship garages such as P-Jernbanen (500 spaces), P-St. Olav (480), P-Siddis (360), and P-Kyrre (310), supplemented by on-street parking throughout the municipality. Its core technology platform is FreeFlow, a barrier-free automatic parking system using license plate recognition (ANPR) provided by SKIDATA, which enables touch-free entry/exit with post-payment via PayLater within 48 hours and automatic PPU (Pay-Per-Use) charging through the Ecom portal.

The company's revenue model is diversified across usage-based hourly/daily parking fees, 30-day monthly subscriptions (NOK 1,550-2,400), residential zone parking permits (NOK 3,720-8,760 annually per vehicle), control sanctions for violations (NOK 330-990), studded tire surcharges (NOK 750), electric vehicle charging (NOK 4/kWh across 160+ charging points), and e-scooter parking enforcement (NOK 900 per improperly parked scooter) introduced in October 2025. Customer segments span general public drivers, residents seeking on-street parking in residential zones, businesses using fleet management via ParkLink, EV owners, and people with reduced mobility — the latter served across Stavanger, Randaberg, and Kvitsøy municipalities.

Distribution operates through a centrally located customer service center at St. Olavsgate 11, a website portal, and partnerships with EasyPark and ParkLink mobile applications (with 15% surcharge), alongside subsidiary Rogaland Parkering for broader Rogaland region operations. The organization is governed by a municipal board with cross-party representation and is led by General Manager Christian Tønnevold, with three department heads overseeing Operations, Enforcement, and Management functions.
