About WIT 2018
The East African Women in Transportation Conference seeks to bridge the gap between research and policy initiatives pertaining to urban planning, public safety and gender-based violence and the real-world challenges facing women currently working in the transportation sector. Transportation jobs can provide stable incomes, opportunities for growth and economic freedom as well as safer public spaces for all commuters. The East Africa WIT Conference, will provide a forum for the exploration of technical, policy, financial, global best-practices and political aspects of emerging transportation issues while recognizing and celebrating women working in transportation.
