The Truck Stop Safety Act requires entities that construct, reopen, or improve truck stop facilities to display two types of public safety notices in prominent locations. The first notice must provide information about human trafficking, including the National Human Trafficking Hotline, a definition of human trafficking, and warning signs. The second notice must include suicide prevention resources, specifically information about the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and details that calls, texts, and chats are free, confidential, and available around the clock. This requirement applies to projects carried out under the surface transportation program established by MAP-21, the 2012 transportation law. The bill does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines beyond requiring these notices be prominently displayed.
