District of Columbia April 2013 Parking Violation Locations

District of Columbia parking citation locations from April 2013, issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. The data contains geocoded ticket counts aggregated by time of day, week, and violation category, originally sourced from the eTIMS meter work order management system.

Use Cases

• Analyze parking violation frequency by time of day and week of year to identify peak enforcement periods.
• Map geocoded citation locations at street segment centroids for spatial analysis of enforcement hotspots.
• Study patterns in violation categories to understand common infractions and enforcement focus.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, enabling precise spatial analysis.
• Contains aggregated counts based on multiple temporal dimensions (time of day, week of year).
• Sourced from the authoritative District Department of Motor Vehicles eTIMS system.

Limitations

• Limited to a single month (April 2013), restricting longitudinal trend analysis.
• Contains aggregated counts rather than individual ticket records, limiting granular analysis.
• Potential geographic bias as data is only from the District of Columbia.
