Record travel expected in Florida this Memorial Day weekend

Friday, May 23, 2025 edition of Jacksonville's Morning News - AAA expects 2.6 million Floridians will travel more than 50 miles from home, a 4% percent increase over last year.
The article from Yahoo News reports that Florida is expecting a record number of travelers for the Memorial Day weekend, with an estimated 2.4 million Floridians planning to travel, marking a 5% increase from the previous year. AAA forecasts that 2.1 million will travel by car, while 210,000 will fly, and the rest will use other modes of transportation. The surge in travel is attributed to lower gas prices and a strong desire among residents to take advantage of the long weekend. Additionally, popular destinations within Florida such as beaches, theme parks, and the Florida Keys are anticipated to see high volumes of visitors. To manage the expected traffic, the Florida Department of Transportation and local authorities are preparing special traffic management plans.
