How many parking 311 requests Austin residents file each month.
How this category is defined
What counts as parking: Enforcement complaints about illegally parked vehicles, blocked driveways, parking meter issues, and parking-sign maintenance. Distinct from `abandoned_vehicles`, which is about long-term neglect rather than enforcement.
In Austin’s raw 311 data, the following 8 service_type values are counted as parking:
- ATD - Booting Complaint
- ATD - Parking Machine Issue
- ATD - Parking Sign Maintenance
- ATD - Parking Violation Enforcement
- TPW - Booting Complaint
- TPW - Parking Machine Issue
- TPW - Parking Sign Maintenance
- TPW - Parking Violation Enforcement
To reproduce these counts against the raw feed
SELECT count(*)
FROM <austin_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
'ATD - Booting Complaint',
'ATD - Parking Machine Issue',
'ATD - Parking Sign Maintenance',
'ATD - Parking Violation Enforcement',
'TPW - Booting Complaint',
'TPW - Parking Machine Issue',
'TPW - Parking Sign Maintenance',
'TPW - Parking Violation Enforcement'
)Analyst tip: Austin prefixes with 'TPW - Parking' (Transportation and Public Works). NYC uses 'Blocked Driveway' and 'Illegal Parking'. LA has a broad 'Parking Issues' plus 'Dockless Mobility Enforcement' for scooter parking. Oakland simply uses 'PARKING'. Note: abandoned vehicles are a SEPARATE category in this dataset.
