According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), 53.4 million Americans are expected to travel for Thanksgiving, a 13% increase from last year. The organization says that this year’s travel forecast marks the single-year increase in Thanksgiving travelers since 2005 and brings the total traffic volume near pre-pandemic levels.
Most of these travelers will hit the road to popular destinations, including Phoenix, Arizona. According to AAA, 48.3 million – about 90 percent, are expected to drive. The remaining 5.2 million travelers will choose other modes of transportation such as air, bus, cruise, or train.
That translates to congested roadways!
