Paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Is deeply concerned with the underrepresentation of women in the transport sector, considering women occupy only 22% of the total workforce in the transport sector,1a and is among the EU economy’s most male-dominated sectors, in all likelihood due to gender biases, persisting stereotypes and lack of female role models. __________________ 1aBusiness case to increase female employment in transport - Publications Office of the EU (europa.eu), 2019. https://op.europa.eu/en/publication- detail/-/publication/6f833428-54f9-11e9- a8ed-01aa75ed71a1

Amendment 28 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1 d (new)
1d. Highlights that the under- representation of women who work in STEM related positions within the transport sector, such as artificial intelligence (AI), is a matter of concern, as it can negatively affect the design, development and implementation of these technologies, causing the replication of existing discriminatory practices and stereotypes and the development of ‘gender-biased algorithms’ in new mobility products. Calls on the Commission and Member States to ensure that Artificial Intelligence respects the principles and values of gender equality and non-discrimination as enshrined in Article 21 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union;

Paragraph 2
2. Highlights the fact that women tend to use new mobility services like car sharing and service-based transport options such as leasing less often, as their daily travel patterns are very different to and more complex than men’s1a ; stresses that smart and sustainable mobility solutions should be designed fairly to improve mobility and accessibility for all and taking into account the special situation of carers in the transport system; __________________ 1Kawgan-Kagan, I., Popp, M., ‘Sustainability and Gender: a mixed- method analysis of urban women’s mode choice with particular consideration of e- carsharing’, Transportation Research Procedia, Vol 31, 2018, pp. 146-159.

Amendment 43 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 b (new)
2b. Recalls that mobility is heavily shaped by the gender roles performed by women and men. Highlights that women spend on average, 42% of their total commuting time in a typical week on the mobility of care and account for 80% of people in charge of mobility of care.1a Recalls that most of these caring trips are made by women using sustainable modes of transport, such as walking and using public transport, and tend to involve shorter, local and more frequent trips within a short time span. Urges transport planners to find a balance between the supply of transport systems designed for work- related trips and the unmet mobility needs for care giving purposes; __________________ 1aOECD Transport Innovation for Sustainable Development A Gender Perspective (2021), P.17, https://www.itf- oecd.org/sites/default/files/docs/transport- innovation-sustainable-development- gender.pdf

3a. Highlights that women are 47% more likely than males to sustain a serious to fatal injuries in a car collision as a consequence of a data bias,1a whereby cars were designed and tested with ‘male crash dummies and not with ‘female’ dummies. Recalls that female dummies ,added in the early 2000s, represents a 5th-percentile woman — under 152cm tall and 49 kg— and thus doesn't consider the other 95% of women; __________________ 1a J.

Paragraph 4
4. Considers women’s mobility to be more likely impacted by unsafe experiences and concerns for personal safety, as a result, women are exposed to greater levels of “travel burden” than men relating mostly to cost, stress, time poverty, lack of accessibility and above all, safety. Calls on the Commission and the Member States to take initiatives to make public spaces in European cities safe and free of harassment by sharing best practices and improving legislation, developing gender based metrics and indicators, management, policies, infrastructure and security technology;
