ROSA PARKS DIVERSITY LEADERSHIP
The WTS Rosa Parks Diversity Leadership Award was named for an African American woman who changed the course of history on December 5, 1955, after refusing to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama and was arrested. Her action sparked a year-long transit boycott and led to new public transit laws, launched the modern American civil rights movement and other freedom movements throughout the world.

The WTS Diversity Award recognizes astute organizations, companies and innovative individuals that are broadening their multi-cultural initiatives, changing corporate cultures and philosophies. In doing so, it showcases - like Rosa Parks - that one person or one organization can make a difference. This award was conceived to honor those individuals and organizations for being bold in their support and promotion of diversity, inclusiveness, and multi-cultural awareness within their organization, the transportation industry or in a project or activity that supports the WTS Diversity goals and mission.

Selection criteria is based on an individual or organization that has:

• Exhibited extraordinary efforts or initiatives in facilitating professional opportunities for women and minorities.
• Contributed significantly to promoting diversity, inclusion and multi-cultural awareness within their organization, the transportation industry, or in a project or activity that supports the goals and mission of WTS
