Combating Human Trafficking in Transportation with U.S. Secretary of Transportation
Elaine L. Chao You are invited to participate in the "Combating Human Trafficking in Transportation"
virtual event hosted by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) on
December 8, 2020 from 2:00pm-4:00pm. Nearly 25 million people across the globe are victims of modern slavery, and
human traffickers utilize America's roadways, railways, airways, and waterways to
facilitate the trafficking of their victims. Transportation leaders have an opportunity to
amplify counter-trafficking efforts to combat this heinous crime. This virtual event will feature remarks by Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao and highlight
counter-trafficking initiatives across the transportation sector through leadership, funding, partnerships,
policies and protocols, training and awareness, data and information-sharing, and victim and survivor support.
Three panels comprised of multimodal Transportation Leaders Against Human Trafficking stakeholders
will spotlight efforts by State and local entities, the private sector, and non-governmental organizations. In addition to participating on December 8th, public and private stakeholders across all modes of
transportation are invited to join DOT's Transportation Leaders Against Human Trafficking initiative
by signing the pledge to combat human trafficking in the transportation sector.
