Research on Women's Issues in Transportation: Report of a Conference, Volume 1: Conference Overview and Plenary Papers

This conference had two primary objectives: (a) to identify and explore additional research and data needed to inform transportation policy decisions that address women's mobility, safety, and security needs and (b) to encourage research by young researchers. The conference was organized around four subject areas: Understanding Travel Issues; Transportation, Access, and Community Design; Injury Prevention and Ergonomics; and Policy and Planning. The conference proceedings are presented in two volumes. This volume, Volume 1, includes the conference summary, the four peer-reviewed overview papers presented by the topic leaders, the keynote presentation, and a list of conference participants. Volume 2 contains the peer-reviewed breakout and poster papers and several abstracts of papers on subjects of particular interest to the conference organizing committee.
