With the FIFA World Cup coming to North America in 2026, cities and states across the country are preparing for a massive influx of visitors and international attention. In this timely and insightful session, Mr. Graham will share how GDOT and local municipalities are planning infrastructure enhancements—particularly roadway lighting—to support safety, mobility, and visibility ahead of this global event.
