Traffic Control Personnel (TCP) – FIFA World Cup 2026™ Toronto Rideshare & Transportation Operations

Be Part of History – Help Deliver Safe, Seamless Transportation for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ in Toronto

Join a high-performing operations team delivering critical last-mile transportation support for one of the largest global sporting events in Canadian history. As a TCP, you will play a direct role in keeping fans, vehicles, and pedestrians moving safely around key rideshare pickup/drop-off zones at Lamport Stadium, FanFest areas, and surrounding streets.

What You’ll Do

- Direct and control vehicle and pedestrian flow at designated rideshare (Uber/Lyft) pickup/drop-off zones and surrounding roadways.

- Manage queues, prevent conflicts between rideshare vehicles, private vehicles, taxis, and pedestrians.

- Support safe ingress/egress at high-volume sites including the Lamport Stadium rideshare lot and curbside locations on Douro, Front/Bathurst, and Stadium Road.

- Enforce temporary traffic measures, road closures, and geofenced zones in coordination with City of Toronto plans.

- Work closely with on-site supervisors, marshals, and event partners to maintain public safety and efficient traffic movement.

- Respond to real-time incidents and support contingency operations during peak demand.

- Represent the City of Toronto and FIFA operations with professionalism and composure under pressure.
