AAA Expects 38 Million Travelers During Holiday Weekend

May 27, 2016

Memorial Day travelAAA is estimating that 38 million people will be traveling this Memorial Day weekend; it is the second highest Memorial Day travel estimated since 2005.

Likely brought on by low gas prices, about 700,000 more people will travel this year compared to last. AAA estimates that Americans have saved more than $15 billion in gas this year compared to the same period last year. The holiday travel period began on Thursday, May 26 and ends Monday, May 29.

The majority of holiday travelers will be hitting the open road with an estimated 34 million people driving to their destination. About 2.6 million Americans are expected to fly out and another 1.6 million are expected to take buses, trains or cruises to their destination of choice.

With such a large projection of travelers, AAA also expects to have to rescue more than 350,000 stranded motorists this year. Furthermore, the company will also have its Tipsy Tow services available.

AAA Arizona will be offering their safe ride program which will allow anyone, from drivers to party hosts, to call for free towing services. Tipsy Tow will tow the impaired driver’s vehicle free of charge for up to 10 miles. The service is offered between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. and will be available on Monday, May 30 through Tuesday, May 31.

A high volume of DUI arrests and alcohol-related accidents occur during holiday weekends. In 2014, seven fatal accidents were reported during the Memorial Day weekend; four of those were alcohol-related.

As an attorney here at PLG, I’m lucky to be surrounded by seasoned attorneys and knowledgeable staff that share my enthusiasm for helping accident victims. The team here at PLG treats clients with respect and empathy while fighting hard to get the results they deserve.
    • Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!
    • Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry I can whole heartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips law group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.
    • Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.

All in all I’m so fortunate to be here and I enjoy what I do.
    • I would like to send special thanks to Phillips Law Group for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the Best Law Firm here in the Valley. During these troubling times with the epidemic, Phillips Law Group has masterfully created this family-like environment while still maintaining a professional and business-like approach for all their clients.
