District of Columbia Parking Violations for June 2024

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 summarized by time of day, week, year, and violation category. The dataset originates from the eTIMS meter work order management system.

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 segment centroids for spatial analysis of enforcement hotspots.
• Study patterns in violation categories to assess the focus of traffic control and congestion prevention efforts.
• Use the summarized ticket counts to model the relationship between enforcement activity and urban congestion metrics.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to street segment centroids, enabling precise spatial analysis.
• Violations are summarized by multiple temporal dimensions (time of day, week, year) and by category.
• Sourced from the authoritative District Department of Motor Vehicles eTIMS system.

Limitations

• The dataset is limited to a single month (June 2024), restricting longitudinal trend analysis.
• Data is aggregated as summarized ticket counts, not individual violation records, limiting granular analysis.
• Geographic coverage is restricted to the District of Columbia.
