Mobility XX

October 20, 2021 | 2:00–3:00 pm ETPresented by: Laura Chace

Why is it important to bring more women and diverse voices into transportation? Quite simply, we believe that to effectively solve the complex challenges of the transportation industry, all perspectives are valuable and essential – but today, women only make up 15 percent of the transportation workforce and even less at the CEO and C-suite level. The Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America), The Ray, and the WTS International Foundation have joined forces to create MobilityXX, which is committed to increasing the number of women in the transportation industry by 10 percent over the next 10 years.

Please join us as we hear from transportation leaders about why they are passionate about strengthening equity in transportation across the country, the critical technologies that must be deployed, and a new program that will help us reach our goal!

Speakers include:
Speakers:
• Karen Philbrick, Executive Director, Mineta Transportation Institute
• Jannet Walker-Ford, National Transit and Rail Leader, WSP
• Monica Jones, Chief Equity Officer, COTA
• Ramin Massoumi, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Transportation Systems, Iteris
• Laura Chace, President & CEO, ITS America (moderator)

Let’s Transform the Future Together.

Technology evolves faster than we can imagine the future. Rapidly evolving transportation innovations are being developed and deployed that promise to entirely reshape the way our transportation network operates, facilitating vast improvements to transportation safety and overall mobility. The promise of these innovations is apparent, but the deployment and application of these technologies is not without challenges. While technology disrupts the transportation ecosystem with new innovations and ideas, government, communities, private companies, and researchers must race to catch up to and contend with ideas never thought possible. How do we accelerate change and safely embrace new technology while promoting collaboration across industry to advance shared societal goals? Through nonprofits like the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America).

ITS America and its members have been at the center of these innovations, advocating for transformational technology to save lives, promote sustainability, and improve access to mobility.
