U.S. Senate aviation subcommittee chair Tammy Duckworth (D-Illinois) stressed the importance of stepping up funding to draw women into the workforce, saying efforts thus far haven’t been nearly enough.

Speaking at an event sponsored by eVTOL air taxi developer Joby Aviation on Capitol Hill in honor of International Women in Aviation Week, Duckworth noted strong support for provisions that would increase and expand grants to foster the aviation workforce, particularly with women and other underrepresented groups, and create a women in aviation advisory committee within the Department of Transportation.
