Abstract:

MnDOT’s Advancing Transportation Equity Initiative focuses on ensuring the transportation network, services and decision- making meet the needs of Minnesota’s underserved or underrepresented communities. Understanding the needs, challenges and overall experiences of these communities is crucial to advancing an equitable transportation system. Published literature on gender and travel, while indicating that people of different genders have different travel behaviors, has largely defined gender as binary. When gender is viewed as a female–male binary, some travelers’ needs are overlooked or misunderstood. MnDOT wanted to understand how gender identity and gender roles influence travel behaviors and experiences in Minnesota.
