This paper draws on primary research undertaken in the North East of England (NE) to explore the importance of private transport in allowing women to access employment. It outlines the evidence base which exists to consider the impact of mobility on social exclusion. It then analyses the links between women, transport and the labour market, women's transport choices, and the relationship between women's access to private transport and their employment position. It concludes by arguing that access to private transport is a key factor in determining women's economic inclusion, and that the development of sustainable transport systems may have serious gender implications.
