About Women in Transportation Seminar International (WTS International):
Since 1977, WTS International has focused on promoting the advancement of women in the transportation industry. Women were largely discouraged from participating in professional associations – unless the activities were deemed educational. In response, a pioneering group of women organized luncheons and workshops, considered acceptable “seminars.” These founding members supported one another, used their connections to advance their careers, and began to idealize a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable transportation industry. To fulfill its mission of advancing both the transportation industry and the professional women who lead it, WTS International gives members the necessary tools for success.
