# Travel distance and duration in the Swimlane API

The Optimization Swimlane API now returns travel distance and duration for every event in a Resource's schedule, covering both the historical events before the run and the events the run proposes.

Each event includes arriving and departing travel time in seconds and travel distance in meters, alongside the existing Job and Activity details. Previously, getting this travel data meant a separate call to the routes API and matching it up with the Swimlane response by hand.

**Why it matters**

- Integrations can build a complete before and after view of a Resource's schedule, travel included, from a single endpoint.
- There's no need to aggregate results from the routes API to get distance and duration between stops.
