Research offers ample insights into how people of different genders could experience transportation systems in equitable ways, but gender equity is still not part of mainstream transportation practice. We propose that Complete Streets could serve as an implementation system to advance gender equity. We provide empirical information, gender concepts, and regional cases from literatures on gender and transportation, multimodal travel, and public space to support this call to action. We find that a gender-aware Complete Streets movement would: 1) implement gender-specific tools and data; 2) address social environments and infrastructure; and 3) establish a gender-inclusive agenda to reform transportation policy.
