Women in Transport is delighted to announce that our valued partner, Transport for Wales, has renewed its partnership with us for the 4th year.
Transport for Wales (TfW) was set up by the Welsh Government to change the way Wales travels. Their aim is to make sustainable travel a natural choice, to help combat the climate emergency and their vision is to become Wales’s favourite way to travel.
One of TfW’s aims is to be an employer of choice for the communities they serve, within Wales and beyond. They recognise it requires building an inclusive workplace where all their colleagues feel they belong. They set out their plan on how to achieve it in TfW Strategic Equality Plan, 2024-28 which can be found on their website.
Sonya Byers, CEO at Women in Transport, commented about the renewal:
"We are absolutely delighted that TfW has renewed its partnership with Women in Transport. Over the past four years, our collaboration has gone from strength to strength, grounded in a shared commitment to creating an inclusive, equitable and forward‑looking transport sector for Wales.
We established our Wales Hub in the region in 2022 with the generous support of TfW. We are especially pleased to welcome back Jo Foxall as our volunteer Regional Lead for Wales and to celebrate the appointment of Liv Cairns as volunteer Deputy Regional Lead. Their combined experience, passion and leadership will be instrumental in strengthening our presence across Wales and supporting even more women working in — and aspiring to join — the transport industry.
We are delighted that our 20th anniversary celebrations will continue with a celebration in Wales in 2026 and to build on the momentum of this renewed partnership. Together with TfW, we look forward to championing diversity and fostering meaningful change across the sector."
Jo Foxall, Customer Experience Director at Transport for Wales said ‘Transport for Wales are delighted to be continuing our partnership with Women in Transport. Renewing the partnership reinforces Transport for Wales’ commitment to gender equity and to creating a sector where women are supported, represented and able to thrive at every stage of their careers. A diverse workforce leads to better experiences for our customers and stronger outcomes for our communities, and supporting women across the transport sector is essential to achieving that. We’re proud to continue working together to break down barriers, champion inclusion and help shape a more equitable future for transport in Wales.’
