Transportation Department, Transportation Department

Abstract

The annual Combating Human Trafficking in Transportation Impact Awards (the awards) seek to raise awareness among transportation stakeholders about human trafficking and increase training and prevention to combat the crime. The awards are a component of the Department of Transportation (DOT) Transportation Leaders Against Human Trafficking initiative. Additional information regarding the Department's counter-trafficking activities can be found at www.transportation.gov/stophumantrafficking. The awards serve as an incentive for transportation stakeholders to creatively develop impactful and innovative counter-trafficking tools, initiatives, campaigns, and technologies that can help stop these heinous crimes, and as a platform to publicize and share the success of those efforts. The awards are open to individuals and entities, including non- governmental organizations, transportation industry associations, research institutions, and state and local government entities and organizations. Entrants compete for three cash awards: up to $100,000 for first place, up to $50,000 for second place, and up to $25,000 for third place. These prizes are to be awarded to the individual(s) or entities selected for creating the most impactful and innovative counter-trafficking initiative or technology. DOT seeks to incentivize individuals and entities to think creatively in developing innovative solutions to combat human trafficking in the transportation industry, and to share those innovations with the broader community.
