Road Trips Surge as Air Travel Dips | Cincinnati News

This Fourth of July, road trips are back in full force as AAA predicts packed highways—perfect for families craving freedom and budget-friendly travel. With the 250th anniversary of independence looming, many are hitting the road to explore historic sites and national parks. AAA urges early departures before July 2nd to dodge traffic, plus stay alert for construction and law enforcement. While air travel surges nationally, Ohio and Kentucky see dips—down 2.3% and 0.7% respectively—as travelers pivot to buses, trains, and especially cruises.
