As the government's work on mainstreaming and social inclusion has developed, the need to identify and better understand the service requirements of specific groups, including women, has been recognised. Reid Howie Associates Ltd was commissioned by The Scottish Executive in August 1999 to explore women's experiences of transport use in Scotland. From these findings, draft guidance in the form of a checklist has been developed to ensure that central and local government policy makers and transport operators take account of the needs of women in Scotland in developing and implementing their transport policies and services.
