District of Columbia Parking Violation Locations for January 2017

January 2017 parking citation data from the District of Columbia, geocoded to street segment centroids. The dataset contains summarized ticket counts categorized by violation type, time of day, week, and year, collected by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Data was extracted from the Department of Motor Vehicles' eTIMS 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 identify peak enforcement periods.
• Map geocoded citation locations to street segments for spatial analysis of traffic enforcement hotspots.
• Examine patterns in the category of violation to inform urban planning and congestion prevention policies.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to street segment centroids, enabling precise spatial analysis.
• Contains summarized counts across multiple temporal dimensions: time of day, week of year, and year.
• Covers parking violations issued by multiple authorized agencies, including MPD and DDOT.

Limitations

• The dataset is limited to a single month (January 2017), restricting longitudinal trend analysis.
