AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Memorial Day travel surge: AAA says more than 830,000 Wisconsinites are hitting the road this weekend, with Friday and Monday the busiest days and gas averaging $4.43—up sharply from last year. Road safety crackdown: Wisconsin State Patrol is watching for seatbelt violations as “Click It or Ticket” ramps up, and drivers are urged to check 511 Wisconsin for slowdowns. Construction still matters: Milwaukee County crews are pushing to finish repairs before the holiday, while WisDOT warns not to remove “road closed” barriers—one truck drove into fresh concrete after ignoring them. On-the-water and off-road reminders: DNR is urging ATV/UTV safety (helmets and seatbelts) as summer recreation kicks off, and boaters are feeling the squeeze from higher fuel costs. Local travel flavor: Wisconsin Dells reports near-sold-out resorts despite higher prices, and Door County residents are organizing to slow speeding on Bay Shore Drive. What to do this weekend: If you’re staying close, Wisconsin’s lineup includes state parks, landmarks, and plenty of Memorial Day events.
