Fédération Internationale de Football Association World Cup 2026 and Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games Transit Planning Update

overview

Overview

The Orange County Transportation Authority, in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, recently provided special event service for the Fédération Internationale de Football Association World Cup 2026 events and continues to advance planning efforts for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. These events present significant regional mobility challenges and opportunities. The planning focus is to deliver seamless, high-quality transit service for spectators and workforce while minimizing impacts to existing Orange County Transportation Authority riders. This report provides an update on lessons learned, ongoing planning efforts and seeks Board of Directors approval for an amendment to the existing cooperative agreement with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority to address actual services provided to date.
