Abstract
The objective of this paper is to provide an analysis and evaluation of the current workplace landscape on gender equity, culture and support, career advancement opportunities, perceptions on gender demographics, and how they relate to company success and a more user-friendly transportation system. The main method of analysis compared responses collected from transportation professionals and university students with an interest in transportation. While the survey responses show that both professionals and students recognize that organizations would benefit from a more equitable workplace and that my additional literature review demonstrates the positive return on investment of a more equitable workspace, the data shows women feel that gender equity has not been achieved and that opportunities are not the same regardless of gender, while fewer men feel the same way. On the contrary, more male students than female students recognize that both employees and the organization would benefit from an increased percentage of women in the workplace.
