ENHuman Trafficking Awareness Month
SacRT and Community Partners Unite to Raise Awareness and Support Survivors
January is National Human Trafficking Awareness Month, and SacRT is proud to join forces with local law enforcement and nonprofit partners to shine a light on this critical issue. Through a powerful public awareness campaign, we’re using our transit system to help protect vulnerable individuals, connect survivors to resources, and educate the community.
Watch the PSA
Our new public service announcement (PSA) highlights the signs of human trafficking and how you can help. Watch and share to raise awareness.
Campaign Highlights
- Multilingual Bus Shelter Ads
View our campaign posters in English, Spanish, Hmong, Vietnamese, Arabic, Farsi, and more — placed in communities most at risk.
- Onboard Awareness
SacRT is distributing informational cards and adding posters to buses and trains to help riders recognize the signs of trafficking and know where to turn for help. Riders can also report a possible Human Trafficking incident on the Alert SacRT App.
- Community Outreach
Our partners are working together to reach survivors, educate the public, and provide trauma-informed support.
