District of Columbia Parking Violations from May 2017

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, and violation category, originally extracted from the eTIMS meter work order management system and geocoded to street segments.

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.
• Study patterns across violation categories to inform urban planning and traffic control policies.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, enabling precise spatial analysis.
• Includes summarized ticket counts across multiple temporal dimensions (time of day, week of year).
• Published under a permissive CC-BY license for reuse.

Limitations

• Sample size and row count are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
• Data is from a single month (May 2017), providing a snapshot rather than longitudinal trends.
