The bill establishes a comprehensive framework for public safety and transportation planning in preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches in Massachusetts, particularly in Boston. It mandates the executive office of public safety and security, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and the executive office for administration and finance, to submit a detailed report by December 31, 2025.

Additionally, the bill introduces the formation of the FWC Boston 2026 Executive Steering Group and 14 Public Safety and Security Planning Groups, each tasked with specific areas such as public safety, transportation security, and emergency management. These groups will develop risk identification and mitigation strategies, coordinate with various agencies, and implement security measures to address potential threats. The bill also outlines key funding initiatives, estimating costs of $22.6 million for public safety and emergency management, alongside $30 million for MBTA operating costs, while highlighting a pending federal grant application for $46 million to support safety needs. Overall, the legislation aims to create a secure and efficient environment for the World Cup, addressing the logistical challenges of hosting a major international event.
