- Significant bans on international travel with impacts on tourism, entertainment, and the cruise ship industry.
- Major employment centers experienced the largest declines in visits, followed by recreational and social hubs, but a decline in longer trips was replaced with more frequent short trips.
- As commute and social trips reduced traffic, travel speeds on roadways increased and trip times fell correspondingly.
