Is your city’s transport system truly feminist? What does “just and inclusive mobility” really look like — and how do we measure it?

This document introduces an evaluation tool in the form of a checklist, which allows mobility institutions and transportation service providers to self-assess their progress in incorporating the gender perspective into the delivery of transportation services.
Additionally, it provides a set of indicators designed from a feminist approach, aimed at guiding and supporting the evaluation with a gender perspective of transportation projects, plans, and public policies in Latin American cities. This tool seeks to mainstream the gender perspective across all stages of public transportation projects, enabling the measurement of gender equality in these projects, as well as identifying information gaps so that authorities and service providers can establish mechanisms for their generation.

This work is primarily aimed at transport authorities in Latin American cities and service providers, as they are responsible for the planning, implementation, operation, and monitoring of public transport in urban areas. Its main objective is to provide a comprehensive framework that facilitates informed decision-making and effective management of public transport systems, while mainstreaming a gender perspective
Within the framework of this exercise, various aspects of the urban context and formal public transportation are addressed, including both mass and collective transportation. These systems can be operated by public entities, private operators under concessions, or other modalities that comply with the requirements established by regulatory entities.
