The Women in Transport Women’s Safety Group

Help shape safer journeys for women & girls across the transport network

The Women in Transport Women’s Safety Group is committed to ensuring that every journey — whether on foot, by bike, by public transport, or by car — feels safe and accessible for women and girls and other marginalised groups. Yet we know that many still alter routes, limit travel choices, or feel uneasy throughout their journey.

To better understand these experiences across the transport sector and support more informed decision-making, in 2025 we launched our new baseline survey and invited members and non-members alike to share their voice.

The Women’s Safety Baseline Survey is now closed and we will be publishing the results/findings in due course.

Our Women’s Safety Baseline Survey for Women and Girls

What the survey is about:

This survey explores how safety concerns are recognised and addressed across the whole journey chain:
– Walking, wheeling and cycling routes
– Bus stops, stations and interchanges
– Parking environments
– Travelling on the network itself

It builds on the recommendations issued by the Transport Champions in 2021, helping us understand progress so far and where further action is needed.

What happens next:

Results will be used to identify priorities, inform stakeholders across transport and local government, and support collaborative action to improve safety for women and girls nationwide.
