AAA says that it resulted in $99.1 million in revenue for the city.

About one million people are expected to flee the region between Thursday and Monday.

But the city is still waiting for folks to pay more than $125 million worth of tickets.

This will come from a combination of people leaving town and others, who are staying home for the holidays, leaving work early.

Prepare for even more traffic, as AAA predicts that there will be a 6 percent increase of travelers hitting the road by car.

And 2016 data shows that the District is well on its way to outpace 2015’s total.

AAA expects to rescue about 63,000 in the Mid-Atlantic region.

“Compensating for this, they will go home for Christmas, and not in their dreams. Craving days of solace and tidings of comfort and joy from family and friends, they will kiss Washington, D.C. goodbye in their rear-view mirrors or from their airplane windows.”

At least 23 people have died in D.C. traffic crashes so far this year, up from 12 at the same time last year.

The Mid-Atlantic AAA today apologized for calling a local transit advocate “retarded” and comparing him to a Klansman. The apology was, well, pretty weak.
