The paper draws attention to the most basic ways in which gender affects and is affected by transport policies and projects and provides practical approaches to address gender-related problems in road transport projects. Women and men have different travel and transport needs due to their different social and economic roles and activities. Women also face different constraints than men in accessing, using and paying for transport services. Transport can play a significant role in ameliorating or exacerbating the life conditions of women, particularly when poor and living in developing countries, depending on the extent to which gender differences are taken into account. The paper provides examples of entry points for mainstreaming gender into various road project contexts in urban, rural areas, highlighting documented good practices in this area. The paper identifies opportunities where women can play a role in the planning and implementation of road transport operations, particularly through participatory approaches and labor-based road construction. Included is an innovative table that presents examples of data and indicators to be collected for creating a baseline and for measuring results at the project level.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONACCESSIBILITYAFFORDABLE FARESARTERIAL ROADSAVERAGE TRAVEL TIMEBICYCLE PATHSBICYCLESBIKE PARKINGBIKEWAYSBOTTLENECKSBUSBUS DRIVERSBUS SERVICESBUS STOPSBUS TRANSPORTBUS USERSBUSESBUSWAYSCARCARRIAGESCOMMUTE TRIPSCOMMUTINGCONSTRUCTION METHODSCOSTS OF ROADSCROSSINGSCULVERTSCYCLISTDOMESTIC TRAVELDRAINAGEEFFICIENT TRANSPORTEMBANKMENTSEROSIONESCALATORSFARESFEEDER ROADSFOOTBRIDGESFOOTPATHSFRAMEWORKFUELGENDERGENDER ACTIONGENDER MAINSTREAMINGGENDER POLICYGRAVELHIGH TRANSPORTATIONHIGHWAYSHOUSEHOLD TRAVELHOUSEHOLD TRAVEL SURVEYIMTINCOMEINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINTERMEDIATE MEANS OF TRANSPORTJOURNEYJOURNEYSLANDSCAPINGLANESLIGHT RAILLIGHT RAIL SYSTEMLOADINGLOCAL TRANSPORTLONG-DISTANCEMASS TRANSITMEANS OF TRANSPORTMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTMOBILITYMOBILITY CONSTRAINTSMOBILITY PROBLEMSMODE OF TRANSPORTMODE OF TRANSPORTATIONMODE OF TRAVELMODES OF TRANSPORTMOPEDSMOTOR VEHICLEMOTORCYCLESMOTORIZED ROAD USERSMOTORIZED TRANSPORTNATIONAL TRANSPORTNEIGHBORHOODSPARKING FACILITIESPASSENGERPEAK HOURSPEDESTRIANPEDESTRIAN ACCESSIBILITYPEDESTRIAN CROSSINGPEDESTRIAN CROSSINGSPEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENTPEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENTSPEDESTRIAN FACILITIESPEDESTRIAN SAFETYPEDESTRIAN SIGNALSPEDESTRIAN WALKWAYSPEDESTRIANSPOPULATION DENSITIESPOPULATION DENSITYPOTHOLESPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONPUBLIC TRANSITPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT PASSENGERSPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICESPUBLIC TRANSPORT VEHICLESPUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONRAIL CARSRAILWAYRESETTLEMENTRIDERSROADROAD BOARDSROAD CONDITIONSROAD CONSTRUCTIONROAD FACILITIESROAD IMPROVEMENTROAD IMPROVEMENTSROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD INVESTMENTSROAD MAINTENANCEROAD NETWORKROAD NETWORKSROAD PAVEMENTROAD PROJECTSROAD SECTORROAD TRANSPORTROAD TRANSPORT SECTORROAD USERROAD USERSROADWAYSROADWORKSROUTESROUTINE MAINTENANCERURAL ACCESSIBILITYRURAL HOUSEHOLD TRANSPORTRURAL INFRASTRUCTURERURAL ROADSRURAL TRANSPORTRURAL TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURERURAL · TRAVELRUSH HOURSAFETYSAFETY IMPROVEMENTSSECONDARY ROADSSHARINGSIDEWALK WIDTHSIDEWALKSSIGNAGESIGNSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSPEEDSPEED BUMPSSPREADINGSTREET LIGHTINGSTREET LIGHTSSTREET PAVINGSTREETSSTRUCTURESSUBWAYSUBWAY CARSSUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTTAXISTRAFFICTRAFFIC ACCIDENTSTRAFFIC CALMINGTRAFFIC CALMING MEASURESTRAFFIC CONTROLTRAFFIC LIGHTSTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTTRAFFIC SAFETYTRAFFIC SIGNAGETRAILSTRAIN CARSTRAINSTRANSITTRANSIT STATIONSTRANSIT STOPSTRANSIT SYSTEMSTRANSPORTTRANSPORT ACCESSTRANSPORT ACTIVITIESTRANSPORT ALTERNATIVESTRANSPORT CHOICESTRANSPORT CONDITIONSTRANSPORT CORRIDORSTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT EFFICIENCYTRANSPORT IMPROVEMENTTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT MODETRANSPORT MODESTRANSPORT OPERATIONSTRANSPORT PERFORMANCE INDICATORSTRANSPORT PLANNINGTRANSPORT POLICIESTRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT PROBLEMSTRANSPORT PROJECTSTRANSPORT RESEARCHTRANSPORT SAFETYTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORT SYSTEMTRANSPORT SYSTEMSTRANSPORT USERSTRANSPORTATION CHOICESTRANSPORTATION COSTSTRANSPORTATION DEMANDTRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENTTRANSPORTATION FACILITIESTRANSPORTATION RESEARCHTRANSPORTATION SYSTEMTRAVEL ACTIVITYTRAVEL BEHAVIORTRAVEL BEHAVIORSTRAVEL CONDITIONSTRAVEL PATTERNSTRAVEL TIMETRAVEL TIMESTRAVEL TO WORKTRIPTRIP MAKINGTRIP PURPOSETRIP PURPOSESTRIPSTRUCK DRIVERSTRUEUNDERPASSESURBAN ROADSURBAN TRANSPORTVEHICLEVEHICLE DRIVERSVEHICLE USERSVEHICLESWALKERSWALKINGWALKING CONDITIONS10.1596/17455
