AAA expects record number of travelers over Memorial Day weekend

Memorial Day weekend is expected set records for the number of road trips.

AAA projects 39.4 million people, including 506,000 Oregonians will travel by car over the holiday weekend. That's the highest number since the agency started tracking in 2000.

Drivers will find gas prices about 50 cents less per gallon than last year.

The agency predicts overall about 617,000 Oregonians will travel over the long weekend.

It projects this will be the most crowded Memorial Day weekend at airports since 2005. Now air travelers need a REAL ID to fly. Those who don't may still be able to fly but must go through additional screening.

Bend, Portland, Eugene, Boise and the Oregon Coast are the most popular regional destinations for members of AAA Oregon.
