PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — Pasco County is taking a big step to stop human trafficking. 

Bus drivers with Pasco County Public Transportation will be trained to look for anything suspicious that may involve a trafficking victim. 

Transportation Coordinator Rosemarie Bruckner pitched the idea after hearing about some of the experiences drivers have. 

"They're on the road day night. They see a lot of people. And a lot of different things," Bruckner said. 

Bruckner will train drivers on what to look for.  

"Many times they probably see a situation doesn't look right. Maybe they can't pinpoint like many of us cannot. We want to change that," Bruckner said. 

Florida currently ranks third in the nation in the amount of trafficking cases, according to the U.S. Institute Against Human Trafficking. 

In many cases, victims are moved around using public transportation. 

There are signs that drivers can watch out for. 

"Those in a human trafficking situation are usually quiet or subdued," said Pasco County Transportation Director Kurt Scheible. "Where the other person is more hulking, and overbearing. Victims also often don’t have money or are paid by someone else."

Drivers will receive cards of what to look out for and will be trained to call 911 or dispatch for help. 

They also want other passengers to be aware of victims, too.  

"We want to tell traffickers that it's not going to happen in our community and it's not going to happen on our buses," Bruckner said. 

More than 100 transportation employees will be trained. 

Pasco County is working with the U.S. Institute Against Human Trafficking for training resources.
