Newark NJ, the excitement is building as the biggest sporting event in the world, the FIFA World Cup 2026, approaches. With less than two years to go, meticulous preparations are underway to ensure a smooth and successful event. From security to transportation, every detail is being fine-tuned. In a bid to share insights and best practices for large-scale event preparedness, NJ TRANSIT recently hosted a crucial workshop for transportation leaders from around the globe.
A Collaborative Workshop on Transportation and Security
NJ TRANSIT Police OEM Sergeant Jose Tirado played a key role in the workshop, sharing invaluable knowledge on transportation, infrastructure, and security efficiencies. His presentation highlighted the essential focus areas that will ensure the seamless movement of people and goods during the World Cup.
Held at Rutgers Newark, the workshop was the first in a series of similar events planned in the lead-up to the FIFA World Cup 2026. This initial session was a collaborative effort between NJ TRANSIT, the International Association of Public Transport (UITP), and Rutgers Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT).
Preparing for the Biggest Sporting Event Ever
The workshop brought together transportation leaders to discuss strategies and solutions for handling the immense logistics of the World Cup. Topics covered included security protocols, infrastructure improvements, and transportation efficiencies. The aim was to foster a global exchange of ideas and experiences that will contribute to the successful hosting of the World Cup.

You have posted the same nonsense on Facebook.
Your issues are yours. You have been whining too long.
Run for office. You have too many problems for anyone else to care about.
Ridgewood is an Overrated town. I’m sure they’ll be Furlough next year. They have posted so many bonds the village is in debt.
