District of Columbia Parking Violations for October 2015

October 2015 parking citation data from the District of Columbia, issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Locations are geocoded to street segments and summarized by time of day, week of year, year, and violation category. Data is extracted from the DC Department of Motor Vehicles' eTIMS system.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of parking violations by street segment to identify high-enforcement zones.
• Model violation frequency based on time of day and week of year to predict enforcement demand.
• Investigate distributions across violation categories to understand common infraction types.

Strengths

• Geocoded to street segment centroids for spatial analysis.
• Data originates from the authoritative DC eTIMS meter work order management system.
• Includes multiple export formats like CSV and GeoJSON for flexibility.

Limitations

• Dataset scope is limited to a single month (October 2015), restricting longitudinal analysis.
• Data is summarized ticket counts, not individual citation records, limiting granularity.
• Unknown row count and column structure prevents assessment of scale and feature depth.
