The Women's Transportation Seminar - Greater New York (WTS-GNY) Chapter was incorporated and held its first organizational meeting in September 1980, with more than forty women holding professional positions in the transportation industry from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. The Chapter was officially welcomed as the fifth in WTS’s growing network in 1981.  WTS-GNY has grown to the largest Chapter with more than 650 members, supported by members, private companies and public agencies all over the region. The programs and events offered by WTS-GNY address all stages of women’s transportation careers.

WTS-GNY is proud of the programs we offer.  Our programs include Transportation YOU, which pairs high school students ages 13-18 with professional mentors to learn about transportation careers; our professionals Mentoring Program which offers apprentices a yearlong assignment to individual mentors and provides a series of group and private projects designed to address various career aspects.  WTS-GNY also offers quarterly dinner programs, smaller roundtable discussions with women leaders in transportation, and professional development programs for those at all stages of their careers.

The Chapter constantly strives to further the WTS mission, which is to attract, sustain, connect and advance women’s careers to strengthen the transportation industry.  We invite you to #growwithwts!
