  2. The U.S. Travel Association welcomed President Biden’s tour of the Detroit Auto Show as part of an ongoing effort to build a more sustainable future for travel mobility

    “President Biden’s visit to the Detroit Auto Show is an opportunity to highlight that the future of car travel is electric. Travel by car is by far the most popular mode of domestic travel–89% of domestic overnight trips taken in 2019 included an automobile—and that’s why, as electrification infrastructure is deployed, it is done with the traveler in mind. Making cars more environmentally friendly is essential to meeting climate goals,” said Tori Emerson Barnes, Executive Vice President for Policy and Public Affairs at the U.S. Travel Association.
