The North Central Texas Council of Governments, through its role as the metropolitan planning organization for the Dallas-Fort Worth area, plans for more than 8.5 million travelers each day. That number could reach 10 million a day with FIFA World Cup visitors, which will play nine games at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, known as Dallas Stadium for the event, from June 14 to July 24. Monica Paul, president of the North Texas FWC Organizing Committee, said cities like Arlington, Fort Worth, Mans eld, Frisco and Irving, along with the airports, will have “an increased load for operating during the World Cup.” NCTCOG, Dallas Area Rapid Transit, Trinity Metro, Texas Department of Transportation, Trinity Railway Express and the cities of Dallas, Fort Worth and Arlington will be key factors in moving fans throughout the tournament, Paul said. Residents from Fort Worth to Dallas and the areas in between should expect increased tra c from additional drivers and public transportation services, a news release from the NCTCOG states. “Transit is the backbone of this particular plan because of the magnitude of international guests we are going to have,” said Michael Morris, the NCTCOG’s director of transportation.
