The process of economic and social empowerment in developing countries is not only resulting in the redistribution of household activities and its associated labour on account of increased participation of women in gainful employment but also is setting into motion new arrangements for travel at the household level. The present paper attempts to determine the impact of economic empowerment of urban women on their mobility levels in Navi Mumbai, India. A threefold change observed between the mobility levels of working and non-working women may have transport planning implications in the developing world.
