The unique methods for distributing the National Outreach Survey for Transportation rely upon the participation of Transportation entities that agree to distribute a custom NOS survey link to their employees or members. UAS identifies those entities as an Oversight Agencies (OA's). Once approval has been confirmed by your entity, there is minimal time commitment to participate as an OA. If your request includes the need for custom survey questions for several subsets of employees/members, a short interview with a point of contact may be required to identify information for each group.

The National Outreach Survey for Transportation will include custom survey questions that will be asked across the transportation industry and will also include standardized questions asked to transportation survey respondents. ​The USDOT has outlined the modes of transportation to include: Aviation, Maritime, Pipelines, Railroads, Roadway, and Transit. You can submit recommendations based upon any mode of transportation.

We encourage the submission of proposed topics and survey questions to be asked on this survey instrument. Let us know what data would help inform positive changes in counter-trafficking measures in the transportation industry. Entries will be considered but are not guaranteed to be included in the study. The deadline to submit topics and/or survey questions is November 1. 

You can make a submission through one of the two Options below.

The National Outreach Survey for Transportation is an expansive and innovative comprehensive frontline survey across the transportation industry. We believe that no one has all of the answers and that we are stronger when we work together. 

We have unique opportunities to collaborate for the purposes of 1) survey and instrument design, 2) data analytics, and 3) author a segment of the final report based upon the data collected.

There are limited opportunities for these positions. The Contributor selection process will continue on an as-needed basis; however, selections will occur on a first-come, first serve basis, so early confirmation is encouraged.​ Selected candidates will be fully recognized as a Contributor for this study.
