2024 Top Companies for Women to Work in Transportation
Every year, we highlight the top companies that are exceptional workplaces for women in all roles of the transportation industry. They are supportive of gender diversity, accommodate family and life balance, offer competitive compensation, benefits, continued training, and more. Winning companies will be recognized at WIT's Accelerate! Conference & Expo during a special awards program and will be featured in the cover story of Edition 3 of Redefining the Road magazine.
Please note: The top 30 companies that generate the highest number of votes are known as “The Elite 30". These companies will be recognized on stage at the 2024 Accelerate! Conference & Expo during a special recognition program on Monday, November 11.

As part of the nomination process, there is a U.S. $595 Nomination Fee, which covers processing of the nomination and, if accepted to the list, a beautiful customized glass plaque that identifies your company as a 2024 "Top Company for Women to Work in Transportation" and the licensing rights to use the 2024 logo in your promotion of earning this prestigious recognition. You will receive an invoice upon accepting your nomination.
If your parent company is a member but you’re a stand-alone operating unit and want to nominate your company separately from your parent organization, you must initiate your own WIT corporate membership in order to submit a nomination.

Where do gender diversity numbers in transportation stand today? Your participation is critical in helping us find out! We're collecting data for this year's report. Please note: data will be confidential and will only be reported as an aggregate and NOT on an individual basis. Learn More
STEP 1:
Nominate Your Organization
1. Rationale
Explain in 75 words or less what makes your company worthy of being recognized as a great place for women to work and identify attributes that make your company appealing to women.
2. Participate in WIT Index
You also must have participated in the WIT Index, so be prepared to identify % of women in any of these roles that are applicable: Your C-suite, company leaders, board of directors, HR/Talent Management, professional drivers, dispatchers, safety and technicians. Learn More
STEP 2:
Online Voting
The voting portion of this nomination carries a lot of weight on whether your company is chosen as a winner. Be sure to communicate this process and share the voting link to ensure your workforce, business partners, and other key stakeholders votes. The top 30 companies that generate the highest number of votes will be acknowledged as “The Elite 30." (In 2023, more than 27,000 votes were cast!)
STEP 3:
Receive Recognition
Late October/Early November
Winning companies will be recognized at WIT's Accelerate! Conference & Expo during a special awards program (where your appointed company representative will accept your award). Your company also will be featured in the cover story of the Redefining the Road magazine (Edition 3).
WIT will NOT fulfill requests of providing copies of the nominations after submissions. It’s highly recommended that the nominator maintain a record of the nomination. (Suggestion: Develop the nomination in a Word document using the criteria above, and then copy/paste the responses into the online form. This way you retain a complete nomination for your records).
Nominations will be accepted through Friday, May 10, 2024.
The U.S. $595 Nomination Fee covers processing of the nomination and, if accepted to the list, a beautiful customized glass plaque that identifies your company as a 2024 "Top Company for Women to Work in Transportation," the licensing rights to use the 2024 logo in your promotion of earning this prestigious recognition, and access to WIT's Press Kit.
WIT regularly publishes the WIT Index, the official industry barometer to measure the percentage of women who are professional drivers, in corporate positions, and serve on boards of directors in our industry.
The percentage of females in your workforce is a direct reflection of the importance you place on gender diversity and creating a positive professional environment in which women thrive. These percentages involving gender diversity is a key indicator on whether or not your organization is, in fact, a company where women want to work. If you do not participate in the WIT Index, your organization will automatically be disqualified. (IMPORTANT NOTE: Participation in the WIT Index is open year-round so make sure to participate prior to submitting your nomination as a Top Company). Learn More
Early June. Please note: the voting portion carries a lot of weight on whether your company is chosen as a winner, so be sure to communicate this process and share the voting link to ensure your workforce, business partners, and other key stakeholders vote.
