The Allianz pro Schiene (“Pro Rail Alliance”) is Germany’s most extraordinary transport association. It unites 24 non-profit organizations and more than 150 railway sector companies, which collaboratively aim at the promotion and improvement of rail traffic in Germany.

With this, it questions why the railway industry is one of the classic male domains and if this has to stay that way?. It is with this regard that leading female managers in the industry asked themselves this question and founded the “Mobility needs women” network under the umbrella of the Pro-Rail Alliance.
