District of Columbia Parking Violations for June 2021

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 contains summarized ticket counts based on time of day, week, year, and violation category. The dataset originates from the DC DMV's eTIMS meter work order management system.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of parking violations using geocoded street segment centroids to identify enforcement hotspots.
• Model ticket count trends based on time of day and week of year variables to predict future enforcement needs.
• Segment violation data by category of violation to assess the prevalence of different infraction types.
• Support Vision Zero traffic safety initiatives by correlating parking enforcement locations with congestion or safety metrics.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, providing precise spatial coordinates for analysis.
• Contains multiple summarized dimensions including time of day, week of year, and violation category.
• Sourced from the authoritative District Department of Motor Vehicles' eTIMS management system.

Limitations
