Note: Baseline is defined as volume number from the same weekday of the same month from the baseline year*. For example, Wednesday, April 3, 2019 would serve as the baseline for comparing the volume data from Wednesday, April, 1, 2020. *Baseline year is defined as March 2019 to Feb 2020. The dramatic increase shown for Thursday, July 2, 2020 is because the comparison day aligns with Thursday, July 4, 2019 and the holiday travel associated with that date. The increase shown for Wednesday, December 22, 2020 is because the comparison day aligns with Wednesday, December 24, 2019 and the holiday travel pattern associated with that date.
