Calling all TPS Members:  take part in a 2 minute survey on gender equality within the transport industry.

Three early career professionals (Molly Hoggard, Marie Godward and Laura Brooks) have successfully been awarded funding from the Future Transport Visions Group (FTVG) to research gender equality within the transport industry. Please complete this survey to help them understand how the work that we do in transport could be more inclusive whilst being in with a chance to win a £100 charity donation to a charity of your choice! TPS is supporting this initiative as part of the Transport Planning Day Campaign on EDI.

The project aim is to:

Understand the extent to which a gender focus is currently incorporated in transport planning processes and how this can be improved, to achieve a more inclusive transport system.

This will be achieved by the following objectives:

1. Understand how gender-disaggregated data is used in transport planning projects
2. Understand the barriers and opportunities to incorporating a gender lens into transport planning projects
3. Create recommendations and guidelines from the lessons learnt in objectives 1 and 2 into a usable toolkit
