Chicago Rideshare Vehicle Fleet Monthly Eligibility Reports

Monthly reports from 2017 onward detail all vehicles eligible to operate for Transportation Network Providers in Chicago. The dataset includes vehicle attributes like MAKE, MODEL, YEAR, COLOR, and STATE, along with operational metrics such as NUMBER_OF_TRIPS and LAST_INSPECTION_MONTH. It is compiled by licensed rideshare companies and published by data.cityofchicago.org.

Use Cases

• Analyze fleet composition trends over time using MAKE, MODEL, YEAR, and MONTH_REPORTED columns.
• Model vehicle utilization rates by correlating NUMBER_OF_TRIPS with vehicle attributes like YEAR and MODEL.
• Identify vehicles operating for multiple providers by filtering on the MULTIPLE_TNPS flag.
• Track inspection compliance over time using the LAST_INSPECTION_MONTH column.
• Assess geographic distribution of eligible vehicles within the rideshare network using the STATE column.

Strengths

• Includes vehicle eligibility data reported monthly via the MONTH_REPORTED column.
• Contains specific operational metrics like NUMBER_OF_TRIPS and vehicle attributes like MAKE and MODEL.
• Covers multiple Transportation Network Providers licensed to operate in Chicago.

Limitations

• LAST_INSPECTION_MONTH data is not available for records before September 2017.
• Vehicle matching across companies is imperfect, as noted for the MULTIPLE_TNPS column.
• A known data issue exists for Q2 2018, where some records are aggregated under a single month.
