SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The ACHT makes triennial recommendations to the Secretary of Transportation on countering human trafficking in the transportation sector. The ACHT was originally established as a statutory committee on October 3, 2018, pursuant to section 5(a) of the 2018 Combating Human Trafficking in Commercial Vehicles Act (Pub. L. 115-99). The ACHT was reestablished as a continuing committee on July 29, 2022, in accordance with section 23020 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub.
