To ensure we can safely support an event of the scale of FIFA World Cup 2026™, there will be temporary road closures and “local traffic only” restrictions for vehicles on match days in the stadium area.
For those who live or work on a “local traffic only” street, a Local Traffic Access Pass program helps maintain vehicle access on match days. Refer to the road closure maps to see which streets are designated as “local traffic only.”
The Local Traffic Access Pass is a temporary program for the seven Vancouver match days. It allows stadium-area residents, businesses and organizations to access their private off-street parking on streets that are “local traffic only”. A pass is required to enter these streets on match days.
The program does not provide general access to the stadium area on match days.
To use your Local Access Traffic Pass, place the pass on your vehicle dashboard. On match days, police and traffic management staff will visually check for passes.
The Local Access Traffic Pass program is for:
Other stadium-area user groups will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. To be eligible, you must have access to a private off-street parking space on a “local traffic only” street near the stadium.
To help manage traffic in the area, courier, delivery and waste collection services are not eligible.
Please fill in the online request form below to request a Local Traffic Access Pass.
Submit your request by June 5 to help ensure you receive your pass before the tournament. Passes can be mailed or collected in person at the Engineering Client Services Counter (507 West Broadway, fifth floor, Monday to Friday 9 am to 4:30 pm).
Passes may be requested throughout the tournament period.
