Abstract:

Women have been involved in the field of transportation since the 1800s and comprise almost half of today's workforce, yet the transportation industry continues to be male dominated. The Transportation Research Board in its 2000 Task Force on Women's Issues in Transportation identified a need to learn more about women leaders in transportation. Such knowledge would help the transportation industry in the pursuit and hiring of women and also assist those wishing to pursue a career in transportation. This study provides information on the demographics, career paths, and professional challenges of women managers in major university transportation departments.
