The World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. How did population movement change before and after the COVID-19 pandemic was declared? The United States' Bureau of Transportation has collected data that can help answer this question. In this activity we will focus on traveling patterns in the state of New York during 2019 and the first three seasons of 2020. The dataset consists of variables for the state of New York including the month the data were collected, a season year label, and the number of trips less than 1 mile from one's home as measured by a mobile device's movement. A trip is defined as movements that include a stay of longer than 10 minutes at an anonymized location away from home. Movements with multiple stays of longer than 10 minutes before returning home are counted as multiple trips. The months January, February, and March are categorized as winter; the months April, May and June are categorized as spring; the months July, August, and September are categorized as summer; and the months October, November, and December are categorized as fall. The first five rows of the data look like this. t Month Season Year Number of Trips
