Read case study
The challenge

Boston Consulting Group (BCG) analyzed the impact of stay-at-home orders on car travel behavior during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. They needed automotive analytics like vehicle miles traveled (VMT) data at varying geographic levels nationwide to understand how policies impacted actual car and commercial truck trips as well as to estimate how they affected tax revenues at the state level.

Data-driven solution

BCG created a “Trip Reduction Index” using StreetLight’s VMT automotive data to measure adherence to stay-at-home policies in each state, county, and MSA. They also used demographic data to determine that a key correlating factor for trip reductions was household income – likely because higher-wage workers were able to work from home. They then estimated the impact of VMT decreases on budgets, and saw that California, Florida, and Texas saw the largest daily gas tax losses.
