Drive carefully, wear seat belts, obey traffic laws, be sure your car is serviced properly and get a good map. Your ASTA travel agent is a valuable resource whether you are planning a stateside trip or travel abroad. Research the cities you are visiting. Get the latest information on safe areas and good hotels from your travel agent. You may want to tour by cab, bus, or in your own car.
Public transportation is a good way to travel in many U.S. cities.
