December 2020 DC Parking Violations Geocoded to Street Segments

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. It was extracted from the DC Department of Motor Vehicles' eTIMS system.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of parking violations by street segment centroid coordinates to identify high-enforcement zones.
• Model temporal trends in ticket counts using time of day, week of year, and year features for enforcement resource planning.
• Segment and compare violation frequency across different categories of violation to understand common infractions.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, providing precise spatial coordinates for analysis.
• Includes summarized counts across multiple temporal dimensions: time of day, week of year, and year.
• Covers violations from multiple enforcement agencies including the Metropolitan Police Department and DDOT.

Limitations

• Data is limited to a single month (December 2020), restricting longitudinal or seasonal analysis.
• Contains summarized counts rather than individual ticket records, limiting granular transaction-level analysis.
• Geographic coverage is restricted solely to the District of Columbia.
