Our Chapter
We are a group of transportation professionals — women and men — committed to the WTS mission of transforming the transportation industry through the advancement of women. All who support our mission are welcome!
In February 1989, the Wisconsin DOT and the National WTS sponsored a reception in Madison to introduce the idea of WTS in Wisconsin. More than 70 women and men attended, and from this event a dedicated group of transportation professionals formed the Wisconsin WTS Chapter Development Steering Committee. A few months later, the Wisconsin Chapter gained National affiliation. In 2019, we celebrated 30 years by hosting a reception with keynote speakers US Senator Tammy Baldwin and WisDOT Assistant Deputy Secretary Joel Nilsestuen, who spoke about the future of transportation both nationally and statewide, and the critical role that women play in transportation.
