The purpose of this policy brief is to highlight the existing gender inequalities in transport in Romania and to stimulate gender equality in urban mobility through new, sustainable public policies and gender action plans. The policy brief addresses public entities in Romania, that are willing to close the gender gap in mobility and facilitate women’s empowerment.

Alba Iulia Municipality is the coordinator of the Romanian Hub at local level and a public authority. The Municipality enabled gender mainstreaming by signing the European Charter for Equality of Women and Men in Local Life. As a result, the Municipality committed to elaborate and implement an Equality Action Plan by the end of 2022. Furthermore, the Municipality aims to integrate the gender and intersectional approaches in other relevant strategies (such as the Integrated Urban Development Strategy, Alba Iulia Smart City Strategy etc.), in order to enable Gender Smart Mobility projects at local levels.
