STOP Human Trafficking Act

This bill directs the Department of Transportation to build on existing research about human trafficking in transportation and report its findings to Congress within 3 years. Within 2 years, the Department would create databases tracking counter-trafficking efforts and supply-chain forced labor laws, plus policy templates for transportation organizations. Within 1 year, it would update its training and awareness campaign, create checklists and materials for transportation workers and law enforcement, and launch a public awareness campaign around major events such as the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics. The bill also creates a grant program for transit, rail, airport, port, trucking, rideshare, and nonprofit groups to fund trafficking prevention, and authorizes $10 million per year for fiscal years 2027–2031 for each of these two parts.
