Basecast™ by Date Version 2.0, Publication Date 2024.07.15

On July 15, 2024, Motionworks published an updated Version 2 to its Basecast™ by Date product. Version 2 will eventually replace Version 1 as the default record of travel in the United States. Version 2 includes a full daily history for each county and DMA in the United States from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2024.

This is an incremental release of Version 2 containing daily travel patterns for June 2024.

The full validation report for this release can be found here.

Known Issues

  • Extreme values have been identified on January 2, 2023.
  • Due to implementation of new digital privacy laws in Utah in December 2023, trip and PMT data for Utah counties and DMAs has higher than average variability. Motionworks expects this variability to stabilize over the course of calendar year 2024 as digital providers adapt to new rules and regulations in the state.
