WTS is an international organization dedicated to building the future of transportation through the global advancement of women’s careers in the Transportation industry. WTS International was founded in 1977 and has grown to more than 6,500 members and 79 chapters worldwide, located in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. WTS Sacramento is one of these chapters. We are a geographic-specific group composed of volunteers from both the public and private sectors, at all stages of our careers from entry level to executive. WTS Sacramento also provides scholarships for young women in school pursing a career related to STEM and/or transportation. More information can be found on our Scholarships Page. 

WTS stands for Women's Transportation Seminar, which was how it was named when founded in 1977 when women couldn't receive subsidies for association memberships unless they were educational. Now times have changed, and joining an association is an opportunity for women and men to work together and benefit each other in their careers.
