It will also consider how Star Rating information could support event navigation and intelligent mobility tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Large-scale sporting events bring exceptional opportunities to create a positive safety legacy. The influx of spectators, high pedestrian volumes and complex movements between walking, cycling, public transport and vehicles can create heightened risks around major venues &#8211; but also provide a catalyst for lasting improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project will examine how infrastructure and event traffic management can work together to improve safety during peak arrival and departure periods, including the challenges created by crowd surges, pedestrian crossings, public transport interchanges and interactions with surrounding traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avi Silverman, Deputy Director of the FIA Foundation said, \u201cMajor sporting events bring together fans and local communities, leading to heavy road traffic, creating risk but also the opportunity to strengthen safer mobility systems. At the FIA Foundation, we are proud to support the infrastructure solutions that make every trip safe, easily accessible, and sustainable for visitors and as a legacy of social action. This campaign, with our long-term partner iRAP, builds on work across the Mexican host cities for the 2026 World Cup, which translated commitment for lasting change into concrete actions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The work forms part of a broader global 5-Star Journeys to Events Initiative involving event and venue owners, iRAP, the FIA Foundation, mobility and technology leaders, governments and cities, engineering consultancies, transport operators, and mobility advocates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond supporting upcoming events in Mexico, the project will help build knowledge, capacity and an international benchmark that can inform future FIFA World Cups, Formula 1 races, the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Formula E, UEFA events, concerts and music festivals, and other major global gatherings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By identifying risks before the crowds arrive and prioritising improvements where they are needed most, the project aims to ensure that the legacy of great sporting events extends long after the final whistle and chequered flag &#8211; helping create safer, more sustainable journeys for local communities and future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read more on iRAP partnerships to deliver 5-star journeys to major events&nbsp;<a
