Glass Ceiling


2025 Employee and Employer Surveys

Our employee and employer surveys have officially launched to collect data to update our 2024 baseline report. Please read below for more information on how to participate.

Employee survey

This survey of employees in the professional transportation sector in the Puget Sound region will help us better understand the ways that you feel supported and the barriers you face in advancing in your career. Please take 5-10 minutes to complete our survey and share with women and nonbinary transportation professionals in your network.

Employer Survey

We have sent the employer survey to HR professionals at companies, agencies, and organizations who work in the transportation sector throughout the Puget Sound region.

If your company did not receive the survey, please contact us at [email protected] or access the survey through the link above.

Individual responses to both surveys will be kept confidential. Data will only be shared at an aggregated level, without any personal identifiers.

2024 WTS Glass Ceiling Baseline Report

"The 'glass ceiling' — a term introduced more than 40 years ago — refers to an invisible, systemic barrier that prevents women fro rising to senior leadership." Lean In, Women in the Workplace 2019

In the 2021-2022 WTS board year, the Chapter formed its first Glass Ceiling Committee to research and conduct a baseline survey in 2023 to determine whether women or nonbinary-identifying transportation professionals face a glass ceiling limiting their career advancement. This report is the Committee’s inaugural assessment to inform the Chapter’s advocacy efforts with the region’s public and private employers and will act as a baseline for subsequent reports.
