Do I have to purchase a Red Deer Parking Card?
No. The parking meters use coins (nickels, dimes, quarters, loonies and toonies) while the Parking Pay Stations in City owned parking lots use coins and credit cards in addition to parking cards.

Will I lose all my money on my parking card if I forget to log the card out when I return to my on-street vehicle?
No. You will lose the amount of time left on the meter you were parked at.

Where is my meter number if I need to report a meter not working properly?
The meter number is located on the pole with a number and a letter, either L (left) or R (right).

Why does my parking meter not operate before 8 a.m.?
The meter is programmed to operate from Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The meter will accept your parking card or coins after 8 a.m. and not deduct time until 9 a.m. This is called a prepay option.

How do I inform The City about a meter not working?
