North Central Texas Council of Governments unveils traffic plans for FIFA World Cup

Organizations and cities throughout North Texas showcased various transportation-related plans for the upcoming FIFA World Cup games.

Dallas Stadium, also known as AT&T Stadium, will host nine games between June 14 and July 14.

A closer look: The transportation plan includes the use of public transit, how to get to games and the FIFA Fan Festival, as well as what traffic would look like on various highways across North Texas.
