To combat human trafficking, you must first be able to identify it. Listed below are a few red flags that may suggest trafficking is occurring in a public transit system:

Passenger(s) who cannot speak for themselves

Passenger(s) whose tickets and ID documents are being controlled by another person

Passenger(s) who do not know the person who purchased the ticket for them

Offers of sex in exchange for money or other goods and services

If you observe these or other suspicious behaviors outlined in the training below, please call or text the human trafficking hotline number:

Call 1-888-373-7888, or
Text 233733 (Befree)

There is no penalty for being wrong, and you may remain anonymous if you would like. You should never attempt to approach the suspected trafficker; this may further endanger both the potential victim(s) and yourself. If the victim appears to be in clear and immediate danger, please call 911.
