All-Party Parliamentary Group for Women in Transport
A forum to tackle the under-representation of women in transport and promote best practice in gender diversifying the workforce.
Please note that from May 30th the APPG for Women in Transport will cease to exist, as Parliament is dissolved. We will be working to reform the APPG after the General Election.
About the group
The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Women in Transport is a cross-party group of MPs and Peers, launched in 2016. The Group provides a forum to discuss and overcome the under-representation of women in transport by promoting best practice examples of employers leading the way in gender diversifying their workforce and by being the voice for all women using our networks. Women in Transport acts as the Secretariat for the APPG and supports parliamentarians to deliver its activities.
