How do they know?

Every Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's weekends, the AAA puts out a story about the number of people driving or travelling over the holiday weekend. This weekend, the AAA says the number of people going somewhere for Thanksgiving is down 1.5 percent. How do they know? How do they gather this information?

I have yet to read a newspaper article about how they actually get this number.

Struke, I have NO idea either! If you figure it out, let me know!

Hope you and your family have a nice Thanksgiving!

I have wondered that too, Struke. I guess they could keep track on toll roads such as the turnpike, but that doesn't necessarily reflect traffic elsewhere.

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving! :D
I'm behind in my blog reading and trying to catch up. :)
