Human trafficking can occur in any sector, and transit facilities play a significant role in both the exploitation and escape of victims. Recognizing this, the nonprofit organization BEST has launched a free training program called Transit to Freedom, aimed at equipping transit employees with the necessary skills to identify and report human trafficking incidents. Dr. Kirsten Foot emphasized the importance of education among transit staff to combat this issue effectively, as both labor and sex trafficking victims utilize public transit for their exploitation and potential escape, making workers' awareness vital.
