District of Columbia Parking Violations from March 2021

March 2021 parking citation locations in Washington, D.C., geocoded to street segment centroids. The data contains summarized ticket counts based on time of day, week of year, year, and violation category, extracted from the District's eTIMS meter work order 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 high-violation corridors.
• Examine patterns in the category of violation to inform targeted traffic control and congestion prevention strategies.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, providing precise spatial coordinates for analysis.
• Contains summarized ticket counts across multiple temporal dimensions (time of day, week, year).
• Sourced from the authoritative District Department of Motor Vehicles eTIMS system.

Limitations

• Dataset is a single snapshot from March 2021, limiting longitudinal trend analysis.
• Data is aggregated as summarized counts, not individual ticket records, reducing granularity.
