Exclusive: Lyft partners with Department of Homeland Security to fight human trafficking

Driving the news: Lyft is joining DHS' Blue Campaign, an awareness effort designed to educate people about how to take action to thwart traffickers.

• Lyft will provide tutorials to its drivers, starting in the Las Vegas area, where the Super Bowl is being played this week.
• Lyft's driver-only app will also "provide them with resources to help, including guidance for how to contact the right authorities," DHS said in a statement.

Worth noting: "Crimes like human trafficking can be more prevalent during events like the Super Bowl due to the mass volume of people and anonymity that large gatherings provide," DHS says.
