Empowering women to make decisions, control resources, and shape policies will result in better transportation for women and others disadvantaged by the system. But the pipeline is critical.

This is why the Intelligent Transportation Society of America, The Ray, and WTS Foundation, in coordination with other partners in the transportation industry, have joined forces to form MobilityXX, a movement that will mobilize thousands of members as well as key private and public sector transportation entities to highlight inequities in transportation and the critical role of women’s leadership.

Although we mark the end of Women's History Month today, join us as we continue the conversation. Registration is open for our next #MobilityXX webinar on April 14! #EqualityCantWait #WomensHistoryMonth #THISisITS https://buff.ly/3uaUuwZ
