District of Columbia Parking Violation Locations from September 2010

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, year, and violation category, geocoded to street segment centroids.

Use Cases

• Analyze parking violation frequency by time of day and week of year to optimize enforcement patrol schedules.
• Map geocoded street segment centroids to identify high-density zones for specific violation categories.
• Model seasonal or yearly trends in summarized ticket counts to assess policy impact on parking behavior.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, providing precise spatial coordinates for analysis.
• Citations are summarized by multiple dimensions including time of day, week of year, and violation category.
• Sourced from the authoritative District Department of Motor Vehicle's eTIMS system and processed by the Office of the Chief Technology Officer.

Limitations

• Dataset is limited to a single month (September 2010), restricting analysis of long-term trends.
• Data consists of summarized ticket counts, not individual citation records, limiting granular transaction-level analysis.
• Geographic coverage is restricted to the District of Columbia, not generalizable to other regions.
