This scholarship is awarded to an outstanding young woman pursuing graduate studies, working toward a career in transportation or a related field, and who demonstrates a specific interest in advancing transportation innovation in the international arena. The leadership, skills, and perspectives of women are essential to ensure that the transportation systems of the future respond to the needs of all. Through the Leadership Legacy Scholarship, WTS seeks to motivate and reward women who demonstrate leadership in the industry to bring ideas, innovation, and new approaches to transportation challenges in the US and beyond. It has a sustainable community and public transit focus with an emphasis on candidates who are working to rejoin the workforce after some time away from the industry.
