 ** Usage **   <a name="location-Type-RouteTrafficOptions-Usage"></a>
Specifies how traffic data should be used when calculating routes.  
Default Value: `UseTrafficData`   
Traffic data usage depends on the time parameters in your route request:  
+ When `Usage` is set to `UseTrafficData`:
  + If `DepartNow` is set to `true`, or if you specify `DepartureTime` or `ArrivalTime`, then all traffic data is considered (including live traffic and closures).
  + If `DepartNow`, `DepartureTime`, and `ArrivalTime` are all unspecified, then only long-term closures are considered, regardless of this setting.
+ When `Usage` is set to `IgnoreTrafficData`, then all traffic data is ignored regardless of the time parameters in your route request.
Type: String  
Valid Values: `IgnoreTrafficData | UseTrafficData`   
Required: No
