Gender Equity in Transit

Gender equity in transit means ensuring that transportation systems serve all genders fairly, addressing specific needs and barriers faced by women, men, and non-binary individuals. It involves creating safe, accessible, and inclusive services so everyone can travel confidently without discrimination or safety concerns. This includes considerations like improved lighting, secure stations, gender-sensitive policies, and affordable options. Promoting gender equity helps foster social inclusion, reduces safety risks, and ensures equal access to opportunities, benefiting communities by making transportation fairer and more reliable for everyone, regardless of gender.
