A trendline analysis of monthly City of Tulsa municipal citations from 2007 through 2009 and of daily citations from October 1, 2009, to January 14, 2010, shows a significant decline.

Trendline analysis shows the general trend over time for statistics that may vary widely on a day-to-day and month-to-month basis. The trendline for monthly totals from January 2007 through December 2009 shows a decline from roughly 12,000 citations to about 8500. The drop appears to be more precipitous over the last four months, based on the trendline of daily statistics from about 350 citations per day in early October to about 160 in mid-January.
