Taxi Trips in 2016

Metadata Updated: April 30, 2024

Taxi trip data provided as a zip file containing pipe (|) delimited text files or csv for trips by month. DFHV provided OCTO with a taxicab trip text file representing trips. OCTO processed the data to assign a block locations to pick up and drop off locations. The blocks were assigned using the original pick up, drop off lat/long coordinates and searching for the block locations in the DC Master Address Repository (radius tolerance of 250 meters and less). The pick and drop off times were also rounded to the nearest hour.In addition, the pick up and drop off locations were assigned to an airport using locator polygons for Reagan, BWI, and Dulles. These polygons generally followed the visual borders of these airports.The Department of For Hire Vehicles continues its growing investment in good governance and public transparency with data sets, research reports, and taxicab trip ratings available for review below. Access to information enables the public to engage in more robust debates about DFHV regulations and programs; better inform the public about the industry and agency policies; encourage innovators to design new programs; and help improve safety. The data provided herein is derived from electronic sources the accuracy of which cannot be guaranteed. While DFHV strives to provide data that is accurate and current, all data provided is for informational purposes only. The District of Columbia disclaims all liability for errors, omissions, completeness, accuracy and currentness of the data provided herein. Use of data provided herein constitutes acceptance of these terms. Revisions to the dashboard have included the addition of Transport DC data and an update to address inaccurate data that was inadvertently posted due to a technical glitch.
