District of Columbia August 2024 Parking Violation Locations

Parking citation locations in the District of Columbia, issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Data is geocoded to street segment centroids and includes summarized ticket counts based on time of day, week, year, and violation category. The dataset originates from the DC Department of Motor Vehicle's eTIMS system.

Use Cases

• Analyze parking violation frequency by time of day and week of year to optimize enforcement patrol schedules.
• Map geocoded street segment centroids to identify high-violation corridors for urban planning.
• Model spatial patterns of different violation categories to assess traffic control officer effectiveness.
• Integrate with Vision Zero initiatives to correlate violation hotspots with traffic safety metrics.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to street segment centroids for spatial analysis.
• Includes summarized ticket counts across multiple temporal dimensions (time of day, week, year).
• Covers multiple enforcement agencies including MPD and DDOT.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoJSON and KML.

Limitations

• Specific row count and column details are unknown, limiting assessment of scale and features.
• Data is limited to a single month (August 2024), restricting longitudinal trend analysis.
• Summarized counts may obscure individual citation details available in source systems.
