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, we are launching our new baseline survey and inviting you to share your voice.

What this 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.

Why your participation matters:

·         If you work in or engage with the transport sector, your insight will help build a clear picture of how women’s safety is being addressed in practice.

·         Your responses will highlight what approaches are working and where gaps remain, helping to shape effective industry strategies.

·         Real change requires an understanding of the broader sector landscape — your contribution provides the evidence needed to inform action.

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.
