Men and women hold different socio-economic roles and responsibilities that are associated with different patterns of transport access, needs, and use. Yet, there is often not much recorded evidence on the differences in gender travel needs between men and women, in urban areas in particular. Transport planning has not routinely addressed these differences and sex-disaggregated data on transport needs and patterns is very limited. The present regional report summarizes the findings and recommendations of four separate case studies on gender and transport conducted in Casablanca, Morocco, Sana'a and rural Yemen, and Nablus, Jenin, and Tulkarem in the northern part of the West Bank, during between September 2008 and September 2009. The main objective with summarizing the case studies into a regional report is to provide a regional overview relevant for a better understanding of how transport infrastructure and services are facilitating or constraining mobility by gender in the MENA region. In particular, the gender differences in access to resources, markets training, information and employment. The report also aims to review other country experience and good practice to help identify priority areas for public intervention to improve women's mobility and enhance their access to economic empowerment relevant for MENA and other regions.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO CARSACCESS TO EMPLOYMENTACCESS TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONACCESSIBILITYACCIDENT RATESACCIDENTSAFFORDABLE FARESAFFORDABLE TRANSPORTAIRAIR QUALITYASPHALTAVERAGE TRAVEL TIMEBICYCLESBICYCLISTSBIKESBUSBUS COMPANIESBUS DRIVERSBUS LANESBUS ROUTESBUS SERVICEBUS SHELTERSBUS STOPBUS STOPSBUS SYSTEMBUSESCARCAR OWNERSHIPCAR PARKINGCARSCHOICE OF MODECOMMUTERSCONCRETECONSTRUCTIONCONSTRUCTION METHODSCOST OF TRANSPORTCOST OF TRAVELCOSTS PER TRIPCOUNTRY CASE STUDIESDRAINAGEDRIVER BEHAVIORDRIVERSDRIVINGELDERLY PEDESTRIANSENFORCEMENT OF TRAFFIC REGULATIONSFARE INTEGRATIONFARE REGULATIONSFARESFOOT BRIDGESFOOTPATHSFUELHIGH TRAFFIC VOLUMESHIGHER FARESHIGHWAYSIMTINCOMEINTEGRATED TRANSPORT SYSTEMSJOURNEYJOURNEY TIMEJOURNEYSLABOR MARKETLACK OF SIDEWALKSLANDSCAPINGLEGAL STATUSLIGHT RAILLIGHT RAIL NETWORKLIGHT RAIL SYSTEMLOCAL AUTHORITIESLONG DISTANCESLONGER TRIPSLOWER INCOME GROUPSMAIN ROADMEANS OF TRANSPORTMOBILITYMOBILITY CONSTRAINTSMODE OF TRANSPORTMODES OF TRANSPORTMODES OF TRAVELMOTOR CYCLESMOTORCYCLESMOTORIZED TRANSPORTMUNICIPAL TRANSPORTMUNICIPAL TRANSPORT AUTHORITIESNEIGHBORHOODSOVERPASSESPASSENGERPASSENGER CARSPASSENGERSPEAK FARESPEDESTRIANPEDESTRIAN CROSSINGSPEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENTPEDESTRIAN FACILITIESPEDESTRIAN MOVEMENTPEDESTRIAN SAFETYPEDESTRIANSPERIPHERAL AREASPOPULATION DENSITYPRIVATE TRANSPORTPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONPUBLIC PARTICIPATION PROCESSPUBLIC TRANSITPUBLIC TRANSIT VEHICLESPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT FOR WOMENPUBLIC TRANSPORT MODEPUBLIC TRANSPORT MODESPUBLIC TRANSPORT NETWORKPUBLIC TRANSPORT NETWORKSPUBLIC TRANSPORT OPERATORSPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICESPUBLIC TRANSPORT TRAVELPUBLIC TRANSPORT USEPUBLIC TRANSPORT VEHICLEPUBLIC TRANSPORT VEHICLESPUBLIC WORKSQUALITY OF TRANSPORTRAILWAYRAPID TRANSITRESETTLEMENTRIDERRIDERSRING ROADSROADROAD ACCESSROAD ACCIDENTSROAD FACILITIESROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD MAINTENANCEROAD NETWORKSROAD PAVEMENTROAD PROJECTSROAD QUALITYROAD REHABILITATIONROAD SAFETYROAD SYSTEMSROAD TRANSPORTROADSRURAL MOBILITYRURAL ROAD CONSTRUCTIONRURAL ROADSRURAL TRANSPORTSAFER ENVIRONMENTSAFETY MEASURESSAFETY OF TRANSPORTSANITARY FACILITIESSIDEWALKSSPEEDSPEED LIMITSSPREADINGSTOP LIGHTSSTREET LIGHTINGSTREET LIGHTSSTRUCTURESTAXI DRIVERSTAXISTERRAINTOLLTOPOGRAPHYTRAFFICTRAFFIC ACCIDENTTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRAFFIC DELAYSTRAFFIC FATALITYTRAFFIC FATALITY RATETRAFFIC LIGHTSTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTTRAFFIC POLICETRAFFIC SAFETYTRAFFIC SIGNSTRAIN CARSTRAINSTRANSPORTTRANSPORT ACCESSTRANSPORT AGENCIESTRANSPORT AUTHORITIESTRANSPORT CAPACITYTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT EXPENDITURESTRANSPORT FACILITIESTRANSPORT FARESTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT INVESTMENTSTRANSPORT MODETRANSPORT MODESTRANSPORT OPERATORSTRANSPORT PLANNINGTRANSPORT PLANNING PROCESSTRANSPORT POLICIESTRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT PROBLEMSTRANSPORT PROFESSIONALSTRANSPORT PROJECTSTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SERVICETRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORT SPECIALISTSTRANSPORT STUDIESTRANSPORT SUPPLYTRANSPORT SYSTEMTRANSPORT TARIFFSTRANSPORT TERMINALSTRANSPORT USERSTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION COSTSTRAVEL COSTSTRAVEL DISTANCESTRAVEL MODETRAVEL MODESTRAVEL PATTERNSTRAVEL TIMETRAVELERSTRIPTRIP CHAININGTRUCKSTRUST FUNDUNDERGROUNDUNDERPASSESURBAN BUSURBAN INFRASTRUCTUREURBAN MOBILITYURBAN ROADURBAN STREETSURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN TRANSPORT SECTORURBANIZATIONVEHICLEVEHICLE MAINTENANCEVEHICLE OWNERSHIPVEHICLESWAITING TIMEWALKINGWALKING DISTANCEWEALTH10.1596/17648
