The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy and Safetipin released a first-of-its-kind policy brief on Women and Transport in Indian Cities in 2017. ITDP hosted a webinar on March 20, 2018 to introduce the policy brief and discuss the gendered dimensions of transport and employment in the transport sector in Indian cities. The emphasis was on proposed urban transport indicators and service level benchmarks (SLBs) for comprehensive mobility plans, recommendations to improve women’s modal shares and experiences of walking, cycling, public and intermediate public transport, and engendering public transport authorities. In addition to SLBs and recommendations, the role of ministries and departments in mainstreaming gender was also discussed.
