Funding for Counter-Trafficking Efforts

Overview

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) awarded over $12 million in grants through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to support state counter-trafficking efforts through driver’s license standards and programs, and $5.4 million in transit grants through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to address public safety, including human trafficking.  

The Department's annual $50,000 Combating Human Trafficking in Transportation Impact Award aims to incentivize innovative solutions to combat human trafficking in the transportation industry, and to share those innovations with the broader community.
