District of Columbia Parking Violation Locations from February 2013

February 2013 parking citation locations in the District of Columbia, summarized by time of day, week of year, and violation category. Data originates from the Department of Motor Vehicle's eTIMS system and was geocoded to street segment centroids by the Office of the Chief Technology Officer. The dataset includes ticket counts aggregated from enforcement by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies.

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 the distribution of violation categories to understand common infractions in the District.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to street segment centroids, enabling spatial analysis.
• Violations are summarized by multiple temporal dimensions: time of day, week of year, and year.
• Originates from an authoritative municipal system (eTIMS meter work order management).

Limitations

• Limited to a single month (February 2013), providing a narrow temporal snapshot.
• Data is aggregated into summarized ticket counts, not individual violation records.
• Geographic coverage is restricted to the District of Columbia.
