Human Trafficking Campaign

Greenlink recently received a grant from the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Human Trafficking Awareness and Public Safety Initiative, which provides funding for projects to help prevent human trafficking and other crimes on public transportation. Greenlink is using its grant to conduct an 18-month education and awareness campaign that includes three phases focused on public surveys, open house events, training sessions, and customer roundtables.

Phase 1 launched today with a community survey to help determine the public’s existing knowledge and perception of human trafficking in Greenville County. The survey will be open through October 11. Please consider completing the survey today.

Visit RideGreenlink.com/HumanTrafficking to learn more about the initiative.
