Sun Tran is fighting human trafficking by providing resources to passengers and training all Sun Tran employees to identify the signs.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Sun Tran launched the"We See You" campaign to help fight against human trafficking with the help from a $221,000 grant from the Federal Transit Administration. From posters to stickers, passengers will receive resources about human trafficking. Moreover, all of the Sun Tran employees are now trained to identify and report human trafficking situations.
"I've had kids actually say 'I can't go home, I need a safe space'," he said."And then we call dispatch and they come and we help them out. It's happened a few times where the bus has been a safe place for some teenagers.""The kid actually became a friend of mine and he’s an adult now," he said."And he's doing well. He actually keeps in contact with some of the drivers here.
"If they see anyone under duress like this they should call one of our supervisors and our security services who are also trained in regard to human trafficking," he said. "It's a lot of eyes and ears on the road with just Sun Tran being out there," he said."We've actually assisted TPD before and we work together to handle the situation."
