This webinar will demonstrate the importance of collecting and analyzing gender data to achieve greater mobility, health, and quality of life for women and LGBTQ. The panel will provide a diverse and global perspective on the ways in which women and LGBTQ people experience restrictions, risks, indignities, and inequities while navigating COVID-19 and the transportation system, and will examine the ways in which our approaches to transportation research, planning, policy, and design can be reimagined. Session attendees will be encouraged to ask questions during this moderated event. The webinar is part of the TRB Standing Committee on Women and Gender in Transportation (AME20) webinar series with collaboration from other TRB committees.

Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, associate dean of the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs and distinguished professor of urban planning, will present findings from her global study of sexual harassment faced by women transit riders. See more here and here.
