Transportation Leaders Against Human Trafficking: Take Action
Human traffickers exploit roadways, railways, waterways, and airways in urban, rural, and Tribal communities across the United States to recruit and transport their victims. Transportation Leaders Against Human Trafficking (TLAHT) brings the industry together to disrupt that flow through consistent messaging, shared resources, and coordinated action that reaches both transportation employees and the traveling public. Become a TLAHT partner to amplify our collective impact and use the tools below to take meaningful action.
