Advancing Women in Transportation – One Future at a Time
WTS South Florida Chapter is committed to advancing both the transportation industry and the professional women who lead it.
The WTS South Florida Scholarships & Awards Gala is our premier fundraising event, dedicated to supporting young women in local high schools, trade schools, and universities who are pursuing careers in transportation, while also honoring the professionals—both women and men—who exemplify excellence and champion the WTS mission.
Your support helps fund scholarships for local students—from high school to trade school and university—who are pursuing careers in transportation. It also allows us to recognize industry leaders who exemplify excellence and actively support the advancement of women in the field.
Through collaboration with our transportation and community partners, we’re building pathways for education, career development, and leadership. Continued progress is only possible when we come together to empower both current and future generations of women in transportation.
Join Us in Celebration
Celebrate our extraordinary scholarship recipients and the accomplishments of outstanding individuals in the transportation industry who are making significant contributions to the field and supporting the next generation of professionals.
