Trucker Path Sunday at ATA's Management Conference & Exhibition in Nashville announced it is adding Truckers Against Trafficking's (TAT) Report feature to the Trucker Path app.
Trucker Path CMO Chris Oliver said the newly added feature with TAT extends the reach of TAT information to the users of Trucker Path and enables them to easily access the information they need to report a suspected events of human trafficking.
Established in 2009, TAT’s mission is to educate, equip, empower and mobilize members of key industries and agencies to combat human trafficking.
When truckers, and others in transportation, find themselves in the right place at the right time and are empowered to know the right way to respond in the moment, not only can trafficking be reported, but lives can be changed and saved," said Esther Goetsch, TAT executive director. "We're excited to think about how this partnership will increase the visibility of these efforts."
“The more truck drivers we can educate on what to look for and how to report an incident," she added, "the greater our chances of disrupting human trafficking,”
Trucker Path is also joining with ATA’s Women In Motion (WIM) Council, as part of the company’s mission to improve quality of life on the road for truckers and to support valuable industry associations. The Trucker Path and WIM partnership promotes the safety of professional female truck drivers on the road by identifying truck stops with key amenities identified as necessities by female drivers. To date, 320 truck stops qualify as having at least one and 18 have all seven amenities, including lighted parking, lounge areas, showers, bathrooms, and laundry facilities, and 24/7 security and maintenance.
ATA’s Women In Motion’s mission is to empower and connect women across the transportation industry by cultivating a nurturing a safer environment.
