Gender and Transport

Gender and transport refer to how different genders experience and use transportation systems, influenced by social roles, safety concerns, and accessibility needs. Women, men, and others may face unique challenges, such as safety risks during travel, limited options, or transportation that doesn't meet their specific needs. Addressing these differences helps create inclusive, safer, and more efficient transport systems for everyone, ensuring equal access regardless of gender. Recognizing gender in transport planning promotes equity, improves service quality, and supports social and economic participation for all individuals.
