Women and girls make up 51 per cent of the UK population. The female employment rate is 72.3 per cent, yet women remain underrepresented in the transport sector accounting for only 26 per cent of workers. So, this time on Women torque BACK, Jo Dawson-Gerrard talks with Sonya Byers, CEO of Women in Transport.

 Having spent many years of her career in the transport sector, Sonya tells us about what Women in Transport do, about their Advance mentoring programme, their virtual “Lead” leadership development programme, the D & I Bus Group and some of the projects the organisation is currently working on.
