The annual Women in Transport membership survey was launched in September 2025 and was open until the end of October. We had 180 responses in total (around 10% of members). Our thanks to Carmen Olensinki who again volunteered her time to draft, launch and analyse the survey.
The results of the survey have directly informed our business plan and events planning for 2026.
Key takeaways
