In The News: AAA projects that 70.9 million travelers will head 50 miles or more from home over the Independence Day holiday travel period. "With summer vacations in full swing and the flexibility of remote work, more Americans are taking extended trips around Independence Day," said Paula Twidale, Senior Vice President of AAA Travel. "We anticipate this July 4th week will be the busiest ever with an additional 5.7 million people traveling compared to 2019." Gas prices are lower than last year when the national average was $3.53. Pump prices will likely continue going down leading up to Independence Day, according to AAA research. The lower gas prices may prompt more people to travel by car.    "Drivers in large metro areas can expect the worst traffic delays on Wednesday, July 3rd, as they leave town, and Sunday, July 7th, as they return," said Bob Pishue, transportation analyst at INRIX, who worked with AAA on this body of research. See the infographic below from Automoblog, which has tips to help ensure you have a safe and fun trip for the 4th. "Road trips over the holiday week could take up to 67% longer than normal, Pishue cautioned. "Travelers should monitor 511 services, local news stations, and traffic apps for up-to-the-minute road conditions."
