Abstract:

In mid-July, the U.S. summer travel season was in full swing. The miles Americans traveled on the road were up, and the number of domestic passenger airline flights had also risen, with both measures approaching pre-pandemic levels. Amtrak ridership was also closing the difference from its pre-COVID normal. As America turns its full attention to the Delta variant of COVID-19, some people might have scaled back their plans for August travel while some have seemed to proceed with planned vacations and others are already heading back to school. BTS has looked at travel data to establish a baseline for pre-Delta travel trends.
