Gendered Experiences of Commute

Gendered experiences of commute refer to the different ways individuals of various genders experience traveling to and from work or other locations. Factors such as safety, access to transportation, and time constraints can impact these experiences differently. For example, women may face heightened concerns about personal safety, leading them to choose safer but potentially longer routes. Additionally, caregiving responsibilities often influence travel patterns, with women sometimes managing multiple roles. These differences highlight the need for transportation policies that consider diverse experiences to create more equitable and safe commuting environments for everyone.
