You used to be able to screen scrape MapBlast site for this info, but 
Microsoft bought them up 3 or 4 years ago.
You could also use the MS webservice site, so much per 1000 transactions

rather than purchasing multiple copies of mappoint.

Just don't forget all the oddities that will affect travel time. Here is

an extreme one.
To drive from Vancouver to Victoria the distance is only 60 miles, the 
actual driving time is an hour and twenty minutes
However the total travel time is well over 3 hours due to the hour and 
half ferry ride. Then you have to switch your watch
back 40 years to island time. MapPoint doesn't take these things  into
