2023 CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
There are many reasons to celebrate female entrepreneurs, which is the reason Redefining the Road magazine launched the “Top Woman-Owned Businesses in Transportation” recognition program in 2017. Six years later, we continue to recognize powerhouse women in transportation and their flourishing organizations. Criteria used to identify qualified applicants include status as majority ownership by a woman, financial stability and growth, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit of the woman owner.

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. 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 Woman-Owned Business). Learn More
