District of Columbia Parking Violations from February 2015

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 DMV's eTIMS system and is provided by the District of Columbia organization.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of parking violations using geocoded street segment centroids for urban planning.
• Model temporal trends in ticket counts based on time of day and week of year data.
• Identify high-enforcement areas by aggregating summarized ticket counts per violation category.
• Cross-reference violation category data with traffic enforcement policies.

Strengths

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

Limitations

• Sample data and specific column names are unavailable, limiting understanding of data structure.
• The dataset is temporally limited to a single month (February 2015), restricting longitudinal analysis.
• Unknown row count and file size prevent assessment of dataset scale.
