District of Columbia Parking Violations from May 2011

May 2011 parking citation data for the District of Columbia, geocoded to street segments by the Office of the Chief Technology Officer. The dataset summarizes ticket counts based on time of day, week, year, and violation category, originally sourced from the Department of Motor Vehicle's eTIMS system.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of parking violations by street segment to identify high-enforcement corridors.
• Model temporal trends in ticket counts using time of day and week of year features for enforcement planning.
• Segment violation category types to assess the prevalence of different infractions across the city.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, providing precise spatial coordinates for analysis.
• Includes summarized ticket counts across multiple temporal dimensions: time of day, week of year, and year.
• Sourced from the authoritative District Department of Motor Vehicle's eTIMS management system.

Limitations

• Limited to a single month (May 2011), restricting longitudinal or seasonal trend analysis.
• Data is aggregated as summarized counts, lacking individual ticket records or detailed case-level features.
• Spatial precision is limited to street segment centroids rather than exact violation locations.
