The Blue Envelope Program is a vital initiative designed to improve interactions between law enforcement and drivers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Drivers with autism can store their license, registration, and insurance in a distinctive blue envelope, which serves as a discreet way to notify officers of their condition during traffic stops.

This program helps reduce misunderstandings, lowers anxiety, and fosters a more empathetic and safer environment for everyone.

How to Get a Blue Envelope:

Reach out to autism advocacy organizations in your area or your local sheriff’s office to obtain one. Together, we can promote understanding and safety on the road!
