Parking Violation Locations in Washington D.C. for May 2014

May 2014 parking citation data from the District of Columbia, geocoded to street segment centroids. The dataset contains summarized ticket counts based on time of day, week, year, and violation category, originally sourced from the DC Department of Motor Vehicles' eTIMS system. Data is provided by the District of Columbia's Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies like the Department of Transportation.

Use Cases

• Analyze parking violation frequency by time of day and week of year to optimize enforcement patrol schedules.
• Map geocoded citation locations at street segment centroids to identify high-violation corridors for urban planning.
• Study patterns across violation categories to assess the impact of traffic control officer enforcement.
• Use street segment-level summarized ticket counts for congestion prevention and Vision Zero safety initiatives.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, providing precise spatial coordinates for analysis.
• Includes summarized counts across multiple temporal dimensions: time of day, week of year, and year.
• Sourced from an authoritative municipal system (DC DMV eTIMS) and processed by the Office of the Chief Technology Officer.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoJSON and KML for mapping applications.

Limitations

• Sample data and specific row/column counts are unavailable, limiting assessment of dataset scale and structure.
• Data covers only a single month (May 2014), restricting longitudinal or seasonal trend analysis.
• As summarized ticket counts, the dataset may lack granular details of individual citations.
