A record 72.2 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles from home during the nine-day Independence Day period from June 27 through July 5, making this the most traveled Fourth of July in U.S. history. This year, that record coincides with the country’s 250th anniversary, adding national significance to what is already a peak moment for domestic travel.
