DC Parking Violations September 2017

September 2017 parking citation locations in the District of Columbia, issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Violations are summarized as ticket counts based on time of day, week of year, and violation category, with data geocoded to street segment centroids.

Use Cases

• Analyze ticket count patterns by time of day and week of year to optimize enforcement patrol schedules.
• Map violation category frequencies using geocoded street segment centroids for targeted urban planning.
• Identify congestion-prone intersections by correlating violation categories with enforcement locations.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to street segment centroids, enabling spatial analysis.
• Violations are summarized by multiple temporal dimensions: time of day, week of year, and year.
• Sourced from official District agencies including MPD and DDOT.

Limitations

• Dataset is limited to a single month (September 2017), restricting longitudinal analysis.
• Row and column counts are unknown, making scale and feature scope unclear.
