The American Bus Association has partnered with the group Truckers Against Trafficking to raise awareness about human trafficking in the bus industry.
TAT's Busing on the Lookout program seeks to educate and equip all members of the busing industry with the information necessary to enable them to fight human trafficking as part of their everyday jobs, according to the association. Human trafficking has been reported in all 50 states, and the number of victims in the United States is estimated in the hundreds of thousands.
"Many of our members already participate in human trafficking awareness training for their employees," ABA CEO Peter Pantuso said. "We look forward to participating in the collective effort with Busing on the Lookout. We have a very diverse industry and ABA wants to be the key connector to the industry with this great program."
ABA is not the first association to partner with TAT. The American Trucking Associations announced in February it would work with the organization to educate truckers about sex trafficking and its consequences.
