Spotting the Signs of Human Trafficking.

Human trafficking is often hidden in plain sight, and transportation hubs play a major role in how traffickers recruit and move victims. Places like bus stations, truck stops, rest areas, and travel centers can become points of vulnerability for those being targeted.

Awareness is the first step in prevention. Learning how to recognize the warning signs can help protect potential victims and empower the community to play an active role in stopping exploitation. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration offers resources to help individuals identify indicators and know what to do if they suspect trafficking.
