Abstract
The broad objectives of this study
were to identify the following: (1) mobility differences
globally between women and men (and by non-binary
individuals, more broadly, where possible). This objective
includes identifying and explaining heterogeneity in
mobility needs and patterns in developed and developing
countries (and intersectionality across gender, age,
geographic location, ethnicity, disability, class and
income, sexual identity, where possible), and documenting
how these dimensions influence mobility choices and needs;
(2) outcomes for women and men (and intersectionality across
other gender identity, socioeconomic and demographic
criteria, where possible) of mobility barriers and
opportunities to access education, employment, health,
social services, and leisure and recreation services. This
objective includes identifying the differing effects and
outcomes for women and men (and intersectionality across
other gender identity, socioeconomic and demographic
criteria, where possible) of transport investments and
innovations; (3) policy lessons and future research needs
for optimizing access to transport for women and other
transport-disadvantaged groups.
