AAA Predicts Record 82 Million Americans on the Move This Thanksgiving Holiday
AAA forecasts 81.8 million travelers covering 50+ miles during Thanksgiving week with peak road congestion Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, while Thanksgiving Day traffic remains light.
- Over the seven-day period from Nov. 25 to Dec. 1, the American Automobile Association projects a record 82 million Americans will travel, with about 81.8 million traveling at least 50 miles from home.
- AAA says the forecast reflects 1.6 million more travelers than last Thanksgiving, based on historical comparisons back to 2019, and could grow if some air travelers shift to driving after recent flight cancellations.
- At least 73 million people are expected to drive, six million to fly domestically and 2.5 million to travel by bus, train or cruise, with Hertz saying Wednesday will be the busiest rental day.
- Worst windows include Tuesday, Nov. 25 from noon to 9 p.m. and Wednesday, Nov. 26 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., while Thursday has minimal traffic impact, AAA projects.
- AAA's forecast is based on INRIX data analysis using connected-vehicle GPS and apps, as the Federal Aviation Administration ended mandated flight cuts Monday, with a rise in cruise vacations and 2.5 million traveling by bus, train or cruise.
