 # Distance
 
+**DEPRECATED**
+
+The `mapbox.services.distance` module will be removed in 1.0. Please switch
+to the new `mapbox.services.matrix` module.
+
 The `Distance` class from the `mapbox.services.distance` module provides
 access to the Mapbox Distance API. You can also import it directly from the
 `mapbox` module.

Deprecate distance module
As of version 0.15, users should get their travel times from the Matrix API, not from the Distance API. We'll mark the methods of the distance module deprecated and call those of the matrix module instead of hitting the Distance API endpoint.
