District of Columbia Parking Violations for September 2025

Parking citation locations in the District of Columbia, issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Data is geocoded to street segment centroids and includes summarized ticket counts based on time of day, week, year, and violation category. The dataset originates from the DC Department of Motor Vehicle's 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 at street segment centroids to identify high-violation corridors for urban planning.
• Examine patterns across categories of violation to assess the focus of traffic control officer enforcement.
• Use summarized ticket counts per location to model spatial and temporal hotspots for congestion prevention.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, providing precise spatial coordinates for analysis.
• Includes summarized counts across multiple temporal dimensions: time of day, week of year, and year.
• Sourced from the authoritative District Department of Motor Vehicle's eTIMS meter work order management system.

Limitations

• Data is aggregated as summarized ticket counts; individual citation records with full details are not available.
• Spatial representation uses street segment centroids, not the exact location where each violation occurred.
• Temporal coverage is limited to a single month (September 2025), restricting longitudinal trend analysis.
