It's an exciting time as FIFA World Cup matches are set to take place right here in the Bay Area! Visitors from around the globe are preparing to experience the energy, culture and passion that make our region so special.
Major events create unforgettable memories, but they also bring increased traffic, larger crowds, and busier roadways. Whether you're attending a match, watching from your favorite sports bar, or celebrating with friends and family, make safety part of your game plan.
Here are a few gameday reminders:
- NEVER drink and drive. Designate a sober driver, use rideshare services, public transportation, or stay the night if needed.
- Stay alert in crowded areas. Keep personal belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings.
- Expect heavier traffic and allow extra travel time, especially around major event venues and transportation hubs.
- Celebrate responsibly. Respect local laws, your neighbors, and fellow fans.
- If you see suspicious activity or an emergency, report it immediately!
