December 2015 Parking Violation Locations in Washington DC

December 2015 parking citation data from Washington DC, geocoded to street segment centroids. The dataset contains ticket counts summarized by time of day, week, and violation category, issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Data was extracted from the eTIMS meter work order system and processed by the Office of the Chief Technology Officer.

Use Cases

• Analyze parking violation frequency by time of day and week of year to optimize enforcement patrol schedules.
• Map geocoded citation locations to identify high-violation street segments for urban planning.
• Study patterns in the category of violation to understand common infraction types.
• Use street segment centroid coordinates for spatial analysis of traffic enforcement impact.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, enabling precise spatial analysis.
• Contains summarized ticket counts across multiple temporal dimensions (time of day, week of year).
• Covers violations from multiple authorized agencies including MPD and DDOT.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoJSON and KML.

Limitations

• Limited to a single month (December 2015), restricting longitudinal trend analysis.
