Drawing on an interdisciplinary approach, TInnGO developed and validated tools and methods to:
• increase understanding of intersectionality,
• demonstrate the value of gender-disaggregated data,
• highlight women' s mobility problems,
• discover barriers to workplace diversity in transport employment and STEM education.
In terms of creating a paradigm shift, TInnGO’s outputs (e.g. policy briefs, guidelines, GaDAPs, training material and the gender smart mobility charter) together with action research of the 10 national hubs provide a means of challenging the lack of diversity and the prevailing quantitative approaches to understanding mobility.
The Observatory has been used to disseminate ideas, methods, training material, design provocations, best practices and project outputs. Using the Open Data Repository, we have shared and invite others to contribute gender-disaggregated data to create a foundation for future research, policy and practice.,
10 national hubs ( Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Greece, Germany, the Baltics, Scandinavia, UK and Romania) have undertaken research and mobility surveys, reached out to local communities and organisations and increased awareness of gender inequalities, demonstrating the need and value of gender and diversity action planning for businesses to increase diversity within transport organisations and increase gender and diversity sensitive smart mobility products.
In relation to the challenges of the call, TInnGO has,
1. Shown the prevalence of sector wider issues (employment, education, and transport usage) in gender and diversity and developed usable methods and recommendations to address these.
2. Shown how visual representations are used to develop and perpetuate bias in future transport.
3. Created greater awareness of inequalities in transport and the need to address them and provided a space for discussion and dissemination of best practice and data.
4. Developed tools to increase collection and use of gender and diversity data.
5. Shown the effectiveness of national hubs in working with local stakeholders and citizens.
6. Shown that Gender and Diversity Action Plans (GaDAPS) are a practical way to reduce gender and diversity inequalities.
7. Developed a set of indicators for the smart mobility sector – effective, attractive, affordable, sustainable and inclusive which can be used in GaDAPs and to guide and evaluate future designs.
8. Supported long term policies and focus through policy briefs, the TInnGO Observatory, the Open Data Repository and the draft Gender Smart Mobility Charter and training material.
9. Effected change at local level through work with stakeholders and citizens.
