January 2025 District of Columbia Parking Violation Locations

January 2025 parking citation data for the District of Columbia, issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Violation locations are geocoded to street segments and summarized by time of day, week, year, and violation category. Data originates from the DC DMV's eTIMS system and is 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 street segments for spatial analysis of high-violation corridors.
• Identify patterns in violation categories to assess the impact of specific traffic control policies.
• Use street segment centroid coordinates to visualize enforcement density for urban planning initiatives.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, enabling precise spatial analysis.
• Violations are summarized by multiple temporal dimensions including time of day, week, and year.
• Covers parking enforcement from multiple authorized agencies including MPD and DDOT.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoJSON and KML for flexible use.

Limitations

• Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
• Data is limited to a single month (January 2025), restricting longitudinal trend analysis.
• Relies on summarized ticket counts rather than raw, individual citation records.
