WTS Greater Kansas City Chapter, dedicated to the advancement of women in transportation professions.
About us
The Kansas City area has long been a transportation hub, stemming from its days as the starting point of the Pony Express and its role in the expansion of America’s railroads. Today, the greater Kansas City metropolitan area is home to dozens of engineering firms, Class I railroads and a growing logistics community. On December 18, 2013, Kansas City became home to the 50th WTS chapter. Thank you to all of our founding members and several local companies for your help in bringing WTS to Kansas City. We invite you to join us as we support the advancement of women in transportation across both sides of the state line.

Thank you Kerrie Greenfelder for presenting at our August event with APWA Kansas City last Thursday. It was empowering to hear about your experiences and why women should be unapologetically not sorry! #NotSorry #WTS #KansasCity #CareerDevelopment

Thank you to WTS Greater Kansas City and American Public Works Association for allowing me the mic for today's joint luncheon in Lenexa, KS. Everyone was engaged and I enjoyed meeting new people that struggle with unnecessary apologies, too! Plus, I just love a crowd AND the opportunity to bust out the neon shoes! Special thanks to Rachel Henkhaus, PhD, PE for introducing me to one of her favorite organizations. #NotSorry

As students around the country return to school this month, it is important to consider their safety and ease of the journey to and from school. Ensuring children have #SafeRoutes to School, and incorporating active travel is critical for their health and success.
