| Summary: | Big data products offer a new paradigm to understand and analyze human mobility patterns, a primary interest of long-range transportation planners. However, it remains unclear how widely these datasets are utilized by planners and to what extent they influence decision-making. We present the perspectives of more than 50 planners from MPOs across the United States. While we found a range of use cases, there was also a tendency to focus on a narrow set of applications. *Transparency*, *regulation*, and *legitimacy* emerged as the primary factors influencing adoption decisions. |
