These high-attendance events generate significant travel demand and require proactive planning and interagency coordination to minimize impacts on the community. They also create satellite events that impact surrounding areas and can last multiple days.

District Six collaborates with local municipalities, law enforcement, fire rescue, planning committees, and major venues to promote safe and reliable travel conditions during these events. The TSM&O Office works with regional transportation partners to facilitate traffic management plans that may include diversion routes, escalation notification procedures, incident management strategies, and dedicated event staffing. It also monitors impacted corridors from the SunGuide Transportation Management Center (STMC), deploys incident management personnel such as Road Rangers to promote quick clearance, and disseminates real-time traveler information through dynamic message signs and FL511.com.

FDOT District Six is planning for a unique special event this summer. The TSM&O Office will be supporting Miami-Dade County and Hard Rock Stadium for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The stadium will host seven matches. A daily FIFA Fan Festival will be hosted in downtown Miami at Bayfront Park from June 13 through July 5, 2026. The Fan Festival is expected to draw upwards of 30,000 fans and the overall World Cup is expected to bring approximately 1.2 million visitors to the region. District Six will provide on-site staff at the stadium to provide traffic management support, access to District Six cameras, real-time travel time data, and traffic event information throughout the event.

FDOT District Six values the opportunity to support these milestone events in South Florida and is committed to collaborating with local partners to ensure their success.

Representatives from FDOT District Six, FDOT District Four, Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise, Hard Rock Stadium operations, and other agencies met to discuss planning efforts focused on traffic management, traveler information, and incident management. The meeting served as an opportunity for agencies to plan coordination strategies and share lessons learned from previous large-scale events hosted at the stadium.

Discussions included improving traffic flow on key roadways surrounding the venue, awareness of secure area around the stadium, reinforcing designated drop-off locations for rideshare services, and reviewing incident response coordination. The District Six TSM&O Office will play a key role in monitoring roadway conditions and coordinating with partners to respond quickly to incidents during event days.

As planning continues, agencies will meet in smaller working groups to further refine traffic control plans, incident management strategies, and public information efforts in preparation for the FIFA World Cup 2026.
