District of Columbia Parking Violations from March 2023

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

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of parking violations by street segment centroid coordinates for enforcement resource allocation.
• Model temporal trends in ticket counts using time of day, week of year, and year variables.
• Investigate frequency distributions across different categories of violation to identify common infractions.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, providing precise spatial coordinates for analysis.
• Sourced from the authoritative District Department of Motor Vehicle's eTIMS system and processed by the Office of the Chief Technology Officer.
• Available in multiple formats including CSV and GEOJSON for flexible use.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column names, and sample data are unavailable, limiting preliminary assessment of data structure and volume.
• Data is limited to a single month (March 2023), restricting longitudinal or seasonal analysis.
