The Journeys of Women in Transit

​We saved you a seat!

​While women make up a significant portion of transit riders, they remain underrepresented in the industry’s workforce and leadership. This event pulls back the curtain on the "how" and "what" of transportation careers. Our panelists will share their unique career trajectories, detailing their roles and the skills required to succeed in a male-dominated field. Join us to learn about the various facets of transit work, from long-term planning to daily technical operations, and discover how you can carve out your own path in this essential public sector.

​Join us for networking and light refreshments, followed by a panel event by and for women and gender minorities—all are welcome to attend and show their support!

​We hope you can make it!
