Parking citation locations in the District of Columbia, issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Data is geocoded to street segments and includes summarized ticket counts based on time of day, week, year, and violation category.

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.

Strengths
