March 25, 2019 – With Spring Break coming to a close across the state, families are looking ahead to their next travel adventures, according to a recent AAA Travel survey. Nearly 100 million Americans – 4 in 10 U.S. adults – are planning to take a family vacation in 2019, slightly more than last year. Spring and summer road trips top many families’ vacation plans.
A welcome gift to road trippers, gas prices have averaged more than a quarter cheaper so far in 2019 compared with the first few months of last year. Another recent AAA survey found that 33 percent of Americans would go on at least one additional summer road trip if gas prices remain low.
“Road trips will be a popular way to travel for many Americans this year,” said Leslie Gamble, AAA Oklahoma spokesperson. “For travelers needing a bit of inspiration, AAA has mapped out more 450 road trips with recommended stops along the way."
The top five routes for summer travel according to AAA member road trip routing data are as follows:

Passengers are one of the most precious cargo on a trip, be it 5 or 50 miles down the road. AAA recommends drivers keep their attention on the road by pre-programing GPS devices and adjusting seats and mirrors before driving. So a driver can remain focused safely on driving, enlist the help of passengers and don’t use handheld or hands-free cell phones while driving.
AAA’s family travel research is the result of a telephone survey (landline and cell phone) consisting of 1,007 adults living in the continental United States. Interviewing for this survey was conducted January 24-27, 2019. This study has an average statistical error of ±3 percent at the 95 percent confidence level for all U.S. adults.
AAA provides automotive, travel, and insurance services to 59 million members nationwide and some 400,000 members in Oklahoma. AAA advocates for the safety and mobility of its members and has been committed to outstanding road service for more than 100 years. AAA is a non-stock, non-profit corporation working on behalf of motorists, who can now map a route, find local gas prices, discover discounts, book a hotel, and track their roadside assistance service with the AAA Mobile app (AAA.com/mobile) for iPhone, iPad and Android.
