WASHINGTON (March 11, 2026) – Imagine you’re crossing the street when everything goes dark. When you come to, you’re lying in the road, in pain, unsure what happened — except for the red taillights disappearing into the night. No driver. No help. No one calling 911.
Scenes like this are becoming increasingly common. New research from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety (AAAFTS) published today finds that 15% of all police-reported crashes in 2023 involved a driver who fled the scene, the highest percentage recorded in any recent year. The new research reveals a growing crisis on America’s roads, one that leaves injured people alone, without help, and too often without accountability.
Pedestrians and cyclists are especially vulnerable. In fact, 1 in 4 pedestrians and nearly as many cyclists killed in crashes in 2023 were hit by a driver who fled the scene. They are frequently struck in darkness during late-night or early morning hours, when visibility is low and there may be no one nearby to call for help.
“While the reasons drivers flee vary, the outcomes are often too severe or fatal and our analysis shows the percentage of this crash type continues to increase during the past several years,” said Dr. David Yang, President and Executive Director of the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. “Drivers must understand that leaving the scene only compounds the harm. Staying, calling for help, and taking responsibility can save lives.”
Roadside service providers who work just feet from moving traffic, often in dangerous conditions, are at risk as well. Tragically, 15 of them were struck and killed at the roadside last year, based on AAA’s tracking of reported roadside worker fatalities. At least 6 of those 15 were killed by a driver who fled the scene. Roadside safety starts with all of us and AAA is committed to protecting everyone who works or waits at the roadside
“Every time a roadside technician steps out of their vehicle, they’re putting themselves in harm’s way to help someone else,” said Cliff Ruud, Managing Director of Automotive Services at AAA. “When a driver flees the scene, it puts our technicians at even greater risk. These are people with families who should make it home at the end of their shift — and too often, hit-and-run drivers take that chance away. Drivers have the power to protect them — slow down, move over, and stay alert when you see flashing lights.”
The AAA Foundation’s research identifies practical solutions that can save lives: automatic crash notifications through vehicles and smartphones, safer road designs that protect people walking and biking, and accountability measures — including clear legal consequences and consistent enforcement — that make fleeing the scene less likely.
“Bringing down the number of hit-and-run crashes will take a multi-pronged approach,” said Jake Nelson, AAA’s Director of Traffic Safety Advocacy and Research. “Stronger enforcement, smarter use of technology, and public education can work together to change behavior — and we already have the tools to make a real difference and save lives.”

VOORHEES, N.J. (March 5, 2026) - The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline jumped nearly 27 cents since last week to $3.25. The conflict in the Middle East has sent crude oil prices higher to the mid $70/barrel range. The recent increase puts the national average at the same price as it was in early April of 2025. Springtime typically sees higher gas prices as gasoline demand rises and summer-blend gasoline production begins. The last time the national average made a similar weekly jump was back in March of 2022 during the start of the Russia/Ukraine conflict.
Today’s National Average: $3.251
One Week Ago: $2.983
One Month Ago: $2.891
One Year Ago: $3.107
In New Jersey, the average gas price has risen 21 cents over the past week, and is up 27 cents over the past month. Among all states, the Garden State ranks 34th in largest price jump over the last week.
Sussex County in North Jersey currently has the cheapest average price at the pump at $3.07, but South Jersey largely is seeing cheaper prices than North Jersey. Click here to view a statewide breakdown.
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand decreased last week from 8.73 million b/d to 8.29 million. Total domestic gasoline supply decreased from 254.8 million barrels to 253.1 million. Gasoline production increased last week, averaging 9.3 million barrels per day.
At the close of Wednesday’s formal trading session, WTI rose 10 cents to settle at $74.66 a barrel. The EIA reports crude oil inventories increased by 3.5 million barrels from the previous week. At 439.3 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 3% below the five-year average for this time of year.
The national average per kilowatt hour of electricity at a public EV charging station stayed the same at 39 cents.

WASHINGTON, DC (March 10, 2026) - Spring Break isn’t a national holiday, but for many families it’s an annual tradition. As Spring Breakers prepare to travel over the next several weeks, AAA is sharing top destinations based on AAA Travel booking data and practical advice for peace of mind.
Flights to Spring Break domestic hot spots are 2% more expensive over last year, averaging about $815 for roundtrip tickets.
Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Tampa are among the top 10 most popular domestic Spring Break destinations. The Sunshine State dominates this time of year as travelers seek a reliably warm climate to spend time at the beach or enjoy theme parks.
Many travelers prefer to hit the road for Spring Break. AAA rental car partner Hertz says Orlando, Los Angeles, and Phoenix are the most popular rental destinations, and the top bookings by state are Florida, California, Texas, Hawaii, and Arizona.
AAA members can save at the pump over Spring Break by signing up for Shell Fuel Rewards®. Members who register now through April 30 will get 35¢/gallon off their first fill at participating Shell stations, and all AAA Fuel Rewards members will save 10¢/gallon during that time period, which is an additional 5¢/gallon compared to the standard Fuel Rewards discount.
Flights to the most popular Caribbean and international destinations are slightly cheaper this year compared to 2025, averaging around $1,300 roundtrip.
Ocean cruising continues to set records this year as AAA projects 21.7 million Americans will take cruise vacations in 2026. Many families book cruises over Spring Break to get the most out of the week, with Caribbean itineraries departing from Florida, Puerto Rico, and the Bahamas being the most popular.

VOORHEES, N.J. – It’s been an especially brutal winter in South Jersey. Below-freezing temperatures, snow, ice – you name it. It’s all led to a surge of service calls for AAA South Jersey. In the final two weeks of January alone, the club completed more than 5,000 service calls in our territory of Camden, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem Counties – including a high of 450 in one day. So what can you do to keep your car running smoothly in this weather? And what is our team doing behind the scenes to help our members? AAA South Jersey Fleet Assistant Manager Joshua Verde has the answers.
Q: With the brutal winter we’ve been having, what kind of service calls is AAA seeing?
Verde: “Different seasons call for different things. When it's really cold out, we're seeing a lot more jump starts because there's a lot more dead batteries. The cold weather is just killing them. That goes for the extreme heat, too. The extreme heat is going to kill your batteries. We're seeing a lot more people veering off the road, getting stuck in snow or snowbanks where they have to be pulled out.”
Q: What do drivers need to know about driving in the snow or icy conditions?
Verde: “In my experience, I've seen people with four-wheel-drive or all-wheel drive, they tend to drive quick because they think they're invincible, so to speak. You need to slow down, even in those types of vehicles. They can spin out just the same. Clearing the vehicle of any debris, snow, or ice -- that's definitely a must. If you're driving 65 miles an hour down the road and something flies off the vehicle, it can hit somebody else.”
Q: What should drivers always keep in their trunk in case of an emergency?
Verde: “Obviously, you want to make sure you have a good spare tire. Make sure it's filled up with air. Make sure you have the tools to remove it if AAA doesn't come out to assist. Not all vehicles today have spare tires, so unfortunately you need to be towed. It is a good idea to have a jump box. When you have this kind of weather, the batteries are dying. So, if you had your own jump box, you don't have to wait for AAA to come out and service you. The one we carry is a Jump-N-Carry JNC660 and they're a really good jump box that we use.”

Columbus, OH (January 28, 2026) - A new study from AAA and Bread Financial® finds that travel in 2026 will be driven by moments that matter. 61% of Americans plan to travel in 2026, and among those travelers, more than three-quarters (76%) say their trips will be planned around important life milestones such as birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Gen Z and Millennials are leading this shift, approaching these trips with greater intention as they balance showing up for life’s biggest moments with thoughtful planning and financial confidence.
Showing Up for Life’s Biggest Moments
According to the survey, traveling to celebrate a birthday (32%) will be the most popular milestone trip in 2026, followed by family reunions (30%), friends’ milestones (29%), anniversaries (22%), and weddings (19%). Other travel-worthy events include graduations (12%), honeymoons (10%), and fitness competitions, such as marathons or fun runs (7%).
While plans to travel in 2026 are consistent across generations (60% of Gen Z, 63% of millennials, 60% of Gen X, and 61% of Baby Boomers), traveling for milestone events is more prevalent among younger generations. Almost 9 in 10 Gen Z (89%) and Millennial (88%) survey respondents who said they will travel in 2026 say they will plan their trips around milestone events, compared to just 57% of Baby Boomers and 71% of Gen X.
"As families spread out and friends move, travel has become an essential way to stay connected especially for younger generations," said Stacey Barber, Vice President of AAA Travel. "It’s inspiring to see how travelers are thoughtfully planning their trips around life’s most meaningful celebrations. That's why AAA is committed to delivering exceptional experiences through our trusted travel advisors and digital tools like Trip Canvas to curate memorable milestone moments."
Connection Outweighs Convenience, Even When It’s Complicated
Two in five respondents (40%) say that traveling to attend milestone events helps them reconnect with people they haven’t seen in some time, while one-third (33%) say these trips strengthen friendships and bonds. Gen Z (25%) prioritizes traveling with friends more than Baby Boomers (9%).
However, traveling with friends and family for milestone events can be stressful. 59% of travelers report they’ve faced tension or had an argument with a travel partner. This may impact how far people are willing to travel for special occasions. Despite the interest in milestone travel, 22% of survey respondents say they are only willing to go to a wedding if it’s close to home, and an even smaller 9% are willing to undertake a long-haul international trip outside of North America.
Jan 21, 2026|Traffic Safety
The best way to stay safe during a snowstorm is simply to stay off the roads, if possible. Fewer unnecessary vehicles on the roads means fewer accidents and allows maintenance and first responders to better do their jobs. If you absolutely have to go out, follow these tips from AAA South Jersey to protect yourself and others.

AAA was founded on the mission of helping people. Our AAA South Jersey Gives Back program takes this mission from the roadside to the heart of our communities, where we are needed most. AAA South Jersey, its associates, and members are committed to giving back year-round through donations, collection efforts, volunteering, scholarships, and more. In 2025, the AAA South Jersey Gives Back program provided more than $72,000 in charitable donations, sponsorships and scholarships.
Q: Are there any other steps a person needs to take to prepare for roadside assistance?
Verde: “It's always a good idea to have the keys ready, have your membership ready, have the car completely clear. Sometimes we arrive on scene and there's a car blocking the one we’re supposed to tow. That's a big issue. It backs time up for that next member that is gonna be broke down.”
Q: Can you talk about Slow Down, Move Over? Shoulders are narrow enough as is. With the snow, there might not even be a shoulder in some cases. Is that an extra hazard for drivers this time of year?
Verde: “Definitely a big issue. It's not even this time of year, it's all together. Any time you see an emergency vehicle -- whether it's a police officer or a AAA truck -- if you see flashing lights, you should move over. If you can't safely move over, eventually slow down. Maybe a good 20 miles an hour below the speed limit is more safe than anything at all.”
Q: Can you describe the extra steps AAA has been taking to protect and to prepare the equipment during the especially harsh winter?
Verde: “So for example, this past snowstorm that we just got, we had to clear all the {tow truck} beds off, remove all the snow, and then we actually had to salt the beds to make sure that the ice wouldn't freeze up. The straps on the trucks, we would actually bring them inside the cab to make sure they didn't freeze during either rain or snow. Our trucks themselves, the hydraulics, they tend to get more cold, so they actually operate slower.”
Q: Is there anything else you would like our members to know?
Verde: “It's really [important] to have proper information when we go out to service you. We get bad mile markers or no pole numbers. If you go to a parking lot, pole numbers are good. Mile markers are really good. Are you on the southbound, northbound side? Are you on the left side shoulder or right side shoulder? Those are all really good tips for us to find you better.”

Planning & Paying with Intention
Results from the survey indicate that travelers are deliberately managing milestone travel to minimize challenges, using travel advisors, planning tools, loyalty programs, and innovative payment options to optimize their traveling experiences.
Nearly half (46%) of respondents say they have relied on a travel advisor to help plan their trips. Finding the best deals (51%), saving time (43%), and having support if something goes wrong (35%) were cited as the most important benefits of using an agent. About a third of respondents rely on travel experts to handle complex logistics (31%) or uncover "hidden gems" (30%).
Debit cards (52%), personal savings (51%), and credit cards (48%) are the most common ways to pay for travel, but younger travelers are more likely to mix payment methods to manage milestone costs. This includes Buy Now Pay Later options, gift cards, vouchers, travel credits, and employer stipends as well as loyalty programs. Younger travelers feel it pays to have reward options when it comes to travel plans with one-third (33%) of Gen Z respondents (versus only 10% of Baby Boomer respondents) saying that loyalty points, status, or miles “heavily” influence plans.
Budget transparency is common, especially when traveling with others. Almost half of respondents who travel with groups or couples’ trips (46%) say they are transparent about budgets and expenses with travel partners, while 13% said they tend to handle their own finances privately. When it comes to protecting their trips, most travelers (71%) indicated that they had previously purchased travel insurance for their trips, most commonly for hotel or rental costs, baggage and personal items, emergency medical coverage while traveling, or non-refundable flights.
"Traveling for milestone moments is about more than just being there, it’s about making those moments count," said Valerie Greer, Chief Commercial Officer of Bread Financial. "With younger generations leading the charge, we’re seeing a shift toward intentional travel that balances celebrating life’s biggest events with smart financial planning. By embracing tools like travel advisors and innovative payment options, travelers can ensure they’re not only present for these special moments but also financially prepared to make them truly unforgettable."
Survey Methodology
This was an online survey of 1,714 U.S. respondents 18+ who plan to travel in 2026 for personal, non-work-related occasions. The survey was conducted from December 15 to 17, 2025.

AAA advises drivers to follow guidance from local authorities during winter weather events and, when possible, stay home even after the storm passes. Keeping the roads clear of unnecessary traffic will help first responders, including roadside technicians and tow providers, do their job safely and efficiently. If you must be on the roads, AAA recommends:
If you are stranded while traveling in winter weather, AAA recommends:
AAA strongly recommends drivers keep a well-stocked emergency kit in their vehicle. But this is especially important in the winter. A well-stocked emergency kit should include the following:
During big winter storms, AAA will see an increase in calls for roadside assistance. Especially in those areas where the weather will be the most severe. Increased call volume combined with hazardous conditions will cause a delay in response time – especially if an area is inaccessible. When it is possible for roadside technicians and tow providers to go out, the safety of our members is AAA’s greatest concern, and priority is given to those stranded in the most dangerous conditions.
LUXY Ride differentiates itself from rideshare services by focusing exclusively on licensed, professional chauffeurs rather than casual drivers. The company's proprietary technology optimizes operator utilization by reducing "empty leg" trips, resulting in greater cost efficiency and more competitive pricing for customers. This technology-driven approach aligns with AAA's commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality travel experiences.
The partnership also creates opportunities for AAA South Jersey members who are operators to join LUXY Ride's network, strengthening local coverage and deepening community connections.
Modernizing Travel Through Technology and Service
Both organizations share a vision of modernizing the travel experience by combining technology, service, and reliability to meet evolving traveler expectations. The partnership supports AAA's long-term goal of offering full-service travel coverage from door to destination, while underscoring LUXY Ride's commitment to working with strategic partners who understand the travel industry.
