s u c c e s s f u l p e o p l e | s u c c e s s f u l p r o j e c t s | s u c c e s s f u l p e r f o r m a n c e Transport Planning Society Paper Sarah Fish BSc Econ (Hons) MSc AMIHT

s u c c e s s f u l p e o p l e | s u c c e s s f u l p r o j e c t s | s u c c e s s f u l p e r f o r m a n c e “We now have a female Secretary of State for Transport, with female Shadow Ministers from both the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. Yet we have a transport profession that has traditionally been male dominated. Is it now necessary to have a more female inspired agenda? If so, what should it be? Or are male and female transport needs the same?”

s u c c e s s f u l p e o p l e | s u c c e s s f u l p r o j e c t s | s u c c e s s f u l p e r f o r m a n c e Are women and men’s needs the same?

s u c c e s s f u l p e o p l e | s u c c e s s f u l p r o j e c t s | s u c c e s s f u l p e r f o r m a n c e Changing Nature of Travel…..traditionally

s u c c e s s f u l p e o p l e | s u c c e s s f u l p r o j e c t s | s u c c e s s f u l p e r f o r m a n c e

National Travel Survey 2005 Women of all age groups use buses more than trains, with only men between 30 and 39 making more trips by public transport Men’s journey’s are more likely to be of a longer distances Men more likely to go home after a business trip, women ‘trip-chain’ Women less likely to have access to a car….men use the family car for travel to work purposes

s u c c e s s f u l p e o p l e | s u c c e s s f u l p r o j e c t s | s u c c e s s f u l p e r f o r m a n c e The DfT’s Gender Equality Scheme 2007 – 2010 Women who have responsibilities for childcare and work prefer to travel by car; Women experience problems of physical accessibility when escorting children, the reliability of services, access to information and concerns over safety and security; Women’s relative lack of access to a private vehicle can limit their access to employment opportunities; Transport difficulties can impact upon access to health care

s u c c e s s f u l p e o p l e | s u c c e s s f u l p r o j e c t s | s u c c e s s f u l p e r f o r m a n c e Stereotypes – do needs actually differ?

s u c c e s s f u l p e o p l e | s u c c e s s f u l p r o j e c t s | s u c c e s s f u l p e r f o r m a n c e “women often have the primary responsibility for childcare or for looking after older, sick or disabled relatives. More often than men, they work part time, particularly if they have dependent children. A smaller proportion of women than men hold driving licences”

s u c c e s s f u l p e o p l e | s u c c e s s f u l p r o j e c t s | s u c c e s s f u l p e r f o r m a n c e From Barbara Castle…

s u c c e s s f u l p e o p l e | s u c c e s s f u l p r o j e c t s | s u c c e s s f u l p e r f o r m a n c e To Ruth Kelly

s u c c e s s f u l p e o p l e | s u c c e s s f u l p r o j e c t s | s u c c e s s f u l p e r f o r m a n c e Women in the Transport Planning Profession 23.8% of agency clients being placed into civil engineering based professions, including Transport Planning are female

s u c c e s s f u l p e o p l e | s u c c e s s f u l p r o j e c t s | s u c c e s s f u l p e r f o r m a n c e Support for Women in the Industry Through traditional professional organisations and: The Women’s Transport Network Women’s Transportation Seminar (WTS) London ITS – UK Women in Construction Action Network

s u c c e s s f u l p e o p l e | s u c c e s s f u l p r o j e c t s | s u c c e s s f u l p e r f o r m a n c e So…. Are male and female transport needs the same?

s u c c e s s f u l p e o p l e | s u c c e s s f u l p r o j e c t s | s u c c e s s f u l p e r f o r m a n c e Is it now necessary to have a more female inspired agenda?

s u c c e s s f u l p e o p l e | s u c c e s s f u l p r o j e c t s | s u c c e s s f u l p e r f o r m a n c e Thank you for listening.
