Description: Tens of thousands of Chicagoans are routinely issued parking tickets under false pretenses each year. After reviewing nearly 3.6 million parking tickets issued between 2012 and 2018, we leveraged multiple sources of administrative data against one another to identify more than one in eight tickets (13.2%) were issued under conditions when restrictions did not apply. More specifically, we narrowed our attention to seven different types of parking violations where compliance is circumstantial according to factors of space, time, and weather.
