District of Columbia Parking Violation Locations for April 2020

April 2020 parking citation locations in the District of Columbia, geocoded to street segment centroids. The data contains summarized ticket counts based on time of day, week of year, year, and category of violation, issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Data was extracted from the eTIMS meter work order management system and processed by the DC Office of the Chief Technology Officer.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of parking violations using geocoded street segment centroids to identify enforcement hotspots.
• Model ticket count trends based on time of day and week of year to optimize patrol schedules.
• Study the distribution of violation categories to understand common infractions during April 2020.
• Integrate summarized ticket counts with Vision Zero initiatives to assess traffic enforcement impact on congestion.
