为了缓解交通问题，纽约、西雅图、洛杉矶等城市采取了封闭道路、鼓励共乘等措施。墨西哥城甚至强制联邦员工远端工作并停课，以应对球迷活动和示威活动带来的交通挑战。
虽然这项弹性措施为许多办公室员工带来便利，但餐饮、医疗和制造业等第一线员工仍必须前往现场工作。令人意外的是，由于大量办公室员工留在家中，部分地区在比赛日的路况反而比平常更为顺畅。
Many employers in the host cities of the 2026 World Cup are encouraging staff to work remotely on match days to avoid anticipated traffic congestion and delays. Companies like S&P Global and Goldman Sachs have temporarily eased their attendance policies, and even JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, a vocal critic of remote work, is offering some flexibility to employees.
To mitigate traffic issues, cities such as New York, Seattle, and Los Angeles are taking measures like closing roads and encouraging carpooling. Mexico City has gone as far as mandating remote work for federal employees and suspending school classes to deal with the traffic challenges posed by fan events and protests.
While this flexible arrangement provides convenience for many office workers, front-line employees in hospitality, healthcare, and manufacturing still have no choice but to commute. Surprisingly, because so many office workers stayed home, roads in some areas were unexpectedly clearer than usual on match days.
