The Department may provide access to limited electricity and water as determined by the DM.

(3) An Eligible Non-Profit Organization formed for the purpose of providing assistance to victims of human trafficking may provide, install and maintain posters in a Rest Area. The posters may be provided in hard copy, laminated and no larger than 8-1/2” x 11” or as a print ready electronic file in black and white and no larger than 8-1/2” x 11”, in a format acceptable to the Department or Travel Information Council.

The posters are to be installed in a vandal resistant manner such as behind at least ¼ inch abrasion resistant polycarbonate cut at least 1 inch larger than the poster and mounted with tamper resistant fasteners. When polycarbonate is used, it must be cut so there are no sharp edges or corners that interfere with the maintenance and operation of the restroom or cause harm to Rest Area users. (7) The Eligible Non-Profit Organization must establish a schedule to inspect the posters at least once a month and take necessary action to maintain the posters in a neat, clean condition. In the event vandalism or damage to the Human Trafficking Awareness Information is discovered by the Department or Travel Information Council, the Eligible Non-Profit Organization will be notified. The Eligible Non-Profit Organization must repair, replace or remove the Human Trafficking Awareness Information within 48 hours of notification. If the poster is not repaired, replaced, or removed within the time specified, the poster may be removed and the Rest Area restored at the sole expense of the Eligible Non-Profit Organization. (8) The Eligible Non-Profit Organization is responsible for the accuracy of the content of the poster. Should the information contained in the poster change, the Eligible Non-Profit Organization must provide additional copies of the updated poster or a new electronic file at no cost to the Department or Travel Information Council.

(11) In lieu of volunteering their time, the Eligible Non-Profit Organization may donate to the Department funds for the printing, installation and maintenance of Human Trafficking Awareness Information in Rest Areas. The Department may also receive gifts, grants or contributions from any source donated for the printing, installation and maintenance of Human Trafficking Awareness Information to be placed in Rest Areas. Donated funds will be held in the “Human Trafficking Awareness Fund” and accounted for separately from other funds available to the Department. The Department will allocate funds to Travel Information Council from the Human Trafficking Awareness Fund for the placement of Human Trafficking Awareness Information in Rest Areas managed by Travel Information Council. (12) If sufficient revenue is available in the Fund or from funds, other than Highway Trust Funds, that may become available to the Department, the Department may agree to print, install and maintain the posters provided by the Eligible Non-Profit Organization in Rest Areas managed by the Department. (13) If the Eligible Non-Profit Organization provides hard copies of the poster but does not volunteer to install and maintain the Human Trafficking Awareness Information, the Eligible Non-Profit Organization must provide an adequate number of posters for installation of at least one poster inside each Rest Area restroom available to the general public; and must provide additional posters as needed upon request.
