World Cup Resources

From the Office of District 5 Councilmember, Liliana Bakhtiari:

With the first World Cup match being a little over a week away, we wanted share some resources that that may be helpful to you and your neighbors as we ready ourselves for game day. 

Navigate Atlanta 

The Atlanta Department of Transportation has launched Navigate Atlanta, a new webpage that is designed to help residents, commuters, and visitors plan safe, efficient, and convenient trips throughout the city. The webpage can be found here: https://atldot.atlantaga.gov/navigate-atlanta/

You’ll find super helpful information traffic changes on this page as well!
 

Real-Time Traffic Updates

ATLDOT has launched a new text alert service; you can sign up for these text alerts by texting “JOIN” to (470) 524-7673. 

Georgia Commute Options

Georgia Commute Options has created a webpage to help folks plan their commute during FIFA. There’s a ton of helpful resources on this page, including a cool graphic that I attached that outlines when folks should generally expect delays before, during, and after games. The website itself can be found here: https://gacommuteoptions.com/world-cup/

ATLDOT Socials

I recommend following ATLDOT on Facebook and Instagram. I’ve seen them posting traffic advisories through those channels, so this should also be a good resource for folks. 

Match Day Guide

FIFA created a Match Day guide on their website that shares information about navigating the city during the games here: https://atlantafwc26.com/matchday-guide/

NotifyATL

NotifyATL is the City of Atlanta's mass notification system; residents can register for NotifyATL by texting “NotifyATL" to 24639 or by visiting https://www.atlantaga.gov/notifyatl. Folks should make sure they sign up for automated and manual alerts.
