Countering Human Trafficking
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 personnel and travelers can learn what to look for and feel empowered to report suspected instances of the crime. Together, we can identify and support those being trafficked across our transportation systems.
Initiatives
USDOT combats human trafficking by engaging public and private sector stakeholders to empower transportation employees and travelers to identify, prevent, and report suspected instances of the crime.
