Monthly Parking Violation Citations With Fine Amounts And Geolocation

Parking contravention records from Winnipeg starting in 2010 include geolocation and the violated bylaw. Fine amounts detail both the full fine and the early payment discount applicable at the time of issue. The dataset is provided by data.winnipeg.ca and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of parking violations using the Location, Point, and Street columns to identify high-violation zones.
• Model the relationship between Violation type, Issue Date, and Electoral Ward 2018 to assess seasonal or ward-specific enforcement trends.
• Calculate revenue impacts by comparing Full Fine and Discounted Fine amounts across different Neighborhoods or Zip Codes.
• Train classifiers to predict violation categories based on spatio-temporal features like Issue Date and Location (address).

Strengths

• Includes detailed fine structure with both Full Fine and Discounted Fine columns.
• Contains multiple geospatial reference columns: Location, Point, Street, and Zip Codes.
• Temporal coverage spans from 2010 onward, providing over a decade of monthly records.

Limitations

• Total row count and dataset size are unknown, limiting understanding of its scale.
