Women in Transportation
The transportation workforce can be enhanced by more balanced participation of women, as studies show an economic case (Source) for inclusion of women and diversity of all types in the transportation industry. Many issues lead to the underrepresentation of women in transportation, including lack of awareness, interest, role models, and workplace supports. SETWC's focus on women in transportation seeks to address these issues through the following activities:
- Offering programs and resources to help young women better understand transportation industry careers
- Creating opportunities for women to network and learn from the experience of industry leaders
- Developing metrics and tracking impact of programs designed to increase participation and advancement of women in the industry
