District of Columbia Parking Violations for May 2024

May 2024 parking citation data from the District of Columbia, geocoded to street segments by the Office of the Chief Technology Officer. The dataset contains summarized ticket counts based on time of day, week, year, and violation category, extracted from the Department of Motor Vehicles' eTIMS system.

Use Cases

• Analyze parking violation frequency by time of day and week of year to optimize enforcement patrol schedules.
• Map geocoded citation locations to street segment centroids for spatial analysis of traffic enforcement hotspots.
• Examine patterns in the category of violation to identify common infractions and inform policy.
• Use summarized ticket counts to model congestion and enforcement impact at intersections.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level for precise spatial analysis.
• Citations are summarized by multiple temporal dimensions: time of day, week of year, and year.
• Includes violations issued by multiple authorized agencies like MPD and DDOT.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOJSON, KML, and CSV.

Limitations

• Contains only summarized ticket counts, not individual citation records with full details.
• Limited to a single month (May 2024), restricting longitudinal trend analysis.
• Visualization uses street segment centroid coordinates, not exact violation locations.
