Record travel volume predicted for Memorial Day weekend
WASHINGTON — Memorial Day weekend travel will be especially fraught this year, according to AAA Mid-Atlantic. How bad, exactly? Think “record numbers.” More than a million D.C.-area residents (1,053,400, to be exact) are expected to be traveling at least 50 miles on the road, in a plane or on trains and cruise ships this holiday weekend — a record high, AAA said. (By comparison, only 748,500 residents traveled during Memorial Day weekend in 2009.) “We’re not even counting the people who are traveling less than 50 miles,” said John Townsend II, AAA Mid-Atlantic’s manager of public and government affairs. The breakdown locally, per AAA and the transportation analytics company INRIX: Nearly 939,000 automobile travelers are projected this weekend, an increase of 4.9 percent over last year. About 85,000 air travelers are anticipated, an increase of 7.5 percent. Almost 30,000 travelers using other modes are projected, an increase of 1 … [Read more...] about Record travel volume predicted for Memorial Day weekend
