Parking Tickets, UGA Style

It's time for my annual requests of various data from UGA, this one the ever-popular parking ticket data for Academic Year 2016-2017 (beginning and end of classes).

Here's a first blush with the data. I have other stuff going on, so will dig more another time.

There were 27,439 tickets written last academic year. On another post I'll compare this to previous years but it seems a bit more. The top lots? Below are the Top Five with the actual number of tix written in parentheses):

  1. Legion Pool (1800)
  2. Ramsey Center Lot (1396) 
  3. Carlton Street (1193)
  4. West Campus Deck (887)
  5. East River Road Area (690)
Again, on another day I'll do some comparisons to previous years, but I vaguely recall Legion being #1 last year, the first time a Ramsey lot had not led in the years I've been doing this. I thought Legion jumped to the top in 15-16 academic year because of construction around Bolton, but I'm not sure that explains this year.

By the way, most of those Legion pool lots were written in the afternoon/evening but more Ramsey tix were written in the morning, before noon. On another day I'll break this down finer, hour by hour. I'm kinda rushed at the moment.

Okay, day of the week is always interesting. More tickets were written on Wednesdays than any other days. Below I break it down for you, by percentages:
  • Sunday (0%)
  • Monday (20.8%)
  • Tuesday (21.7%)
  • Wednesday (23.1%)
  • Thursday (18.0%)
  • Friday (15.9%)
  • Saturday (0.6%)
I can break this down a million ways and probably will when time allows. Just so you know, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the busiest at Legion Pool for tickets, but Monday is the busiest at Ramsey Center Lot., but not by much. Friday is the busiest day at Health Sciences. Go figure.

There are 231 lots listed. Of these, 18 had only 1 ticket written. There may be other lots where no tix were written and don't show up in my data, but I have elsewhere a list of every friggin lot on campus and how many spaces are in that lot. I suspect it's out of date, but I use it to compare pound-for-pound what lots get more tickets than you'd expect, given their size. The usual winner of this is the Psychology lot outside my office, the patient parking one, where people are apparently unable to read the large signs that say Don't Park Here. Patient Parking. Never mind there are far too many spaces set aside for the one or two patients who swing through the psychology clinic.
