Women Driven Mobility is Now on Sale
More than 100 women across the United States—and the 30+ mobility projects they led—are showcased in the new book Women Driven Mobility: Rethinking the Way the World Moves. The book, written by Katelyn Shelby Davis and Kristin Shaw, showcases the rising leadership of women in an industry historically led by men. This includes work that spans automotive, transportation, tech, infrastructure, and other sectors that aid in the movement of people, goods, services, and data.
The authors spent nearly two years sourcing project case studies and interviewing women from across the country. The result was a detailed account of leading-edge mobility projects that shed light on the policy and legislation, design and engineering, community advocacy, funding, and marketing that is needed to implement new mobility systems.
The book features a diverse representation of women, projects, and communities that encompass the true reach and implications of mobility advancement on society. Speaking to the importance of diversity of thought when working on mobility systems, Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, penned the book’s foreword to reflect on the work featured by the women in the book and importance of transportation and infrastructure at a government-level.
