Transportation is a thread woven through all facets of our lives, tied to economic opportunity, access to health care, education, and other critical services. However, women face a wide range of disparities resulting from a system not designed for our mobility needs and travel patterns – a system in which consideration for our safety will impact our access to good travel choices and one where simply being a woman increases the cost of travel compared to men. Women comprise only 15% of the 14.8 million transportation workforce and even fewer are in executive and decision-making roles. In order to have transportation that effectively serves everyone’s needs, we must have a diverse leadership team at the table. MobilityXX, a partnership between ITS America, The Ray, and WTS Foundation, is dedicated to bringing awareness to these issues and to spark change within the transportation industry.

The speakers will be:

• Sara Stickler, Executive Director, WTS International

• Laura Chace, Chief Operating Officer, Intelligent Transportation Society of America

• Allie Kelly, Executive Director, The Ray

Join the MobilityXX founders for a discussion on the vision and mission of the initiative, why it’s important, and how your organization can be a part of the solution.
