Beyond the Stadium: Keeping Cities Moving During Mega-Events

10:00a.m - 11:30a.m. (PT) | Link to register.

16th Annual Mineta National Transportation Policy Summit

This webinar is presented by ACE and the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission.

The next few years will be extraordinary for major sporting events in California with the Bay Area hosting both Super Bowl 60 and the FIFA World Cup in 2026, and Los Angeles hosting the Summer Olympics and Paralympics in 2028. These events invite millions of local spectators and international visitors, with the city of Los Angeles expecting 5 million visitors alone for what the mayor hopes will be a transit-first Olympics. How can buses, trains, highways, and the people who keep them running safely facilitate the movement of these crowds while minimizing impact on the community and environment?

The 16th Annual Norman Y. Mineta National Transportation Policy Summit will feature internationally renowned experts and special guests sharing best practices and insights from previous large-scale events, including Super Bowl 50 and the Paris Olympics, and how to apply global lessons—such as traffic management and communications planning—on a regional scale. Don’t miss the exciting 90-minute conversation shaping the future of California!
