District of Columbia Parking Violations for April 2012

District of Columbia data details parking citation locations issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Violations are summarized as ticket counts based on time of day, week of year, year, and category of violation. The data was geocoded to street segment centroids and extracted from the eTIMS meter work order management system.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of parking violations using geocoded street segment centroids.
• Model ticket count trends based on time of day and week of year variables.
• Identify high-enforcement areas by aggregating summarized ticket counts per violation category.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to street segment centroids for spatial analysis.
• Includes summarized ticket counts across multiple temporal dimensions like time of day and week of year.
• Covers violations from multiple enforcement agencies including MPD and DDOT.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column names, and sample data are unavailable for assessing scale and structure.
• Data is limited to a single month (April 2012), restricting longitudinal trend analysis.
• Original granular ticket-level data is summarized into counts, limiting individual violation analysis.
