In November of 2020, the Transportation Services Department was contacted by the Tri
State Coalition Against Human Trafficking and Slavery. This group was conducting
training for human trafficking awareness and action steps in the Tri-State area. They
graciously offered to train the Jule bus operators as buses are recognized as being
utilized in human trafficking all too frequently in the United States.
Due to Covid 19 concerns, the training was delayed until March of 2021. The training, a
video entitled Busing on The Lookout and lectures by Catherine Dewell and Sr. Irene
Lukefahr was conducted at the JOTC. The training was very well received and
informational. The Tri State Coalition Against Human Trafficking also partnered with
Truckers Against Trafficking and they ultimately decided upon partnering with the Jule
to apply a promotional bus wrap on one of our heavy-duty fixed route Gillig buses. The
bus wrap was completed in August and is now raising awareness throughout the
community as it travels the streets of Dubuque.

Dear Russ and Cathy,
Here are some of the photos taken last Tuesday. Once again, on behalf of the Tri-State
Coalition Against Human Trafficking and Slavery, I am most grateful for all the support the Jule
Transit has given to addressing the issue of human trafficking.
I am also sending these photos to Truckers Against Trafficking in hopes that it may inspire
similar bus wraps on trucks and buses throughout the nation!
Gratefully,
Irene Lukefahr, BVM
