Dear Driver, Family Member, or Care Provider,
You know better than anyone the struggles that face individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Lower Makefield Township Police Department recognizes that it is sometimes difficult to communicate with people with ASD. We understand that being involved in a vehicle stop or a traffic accident could be especially upsetting for people with ASD.
The primary goal of the Blue Envelope Program is to aid drivers with the documentation needed in the event of a vehicle stop or traffic accident. This envelope also helps police officers and other emergency personnel to identify those with ASD and guides them through an interaction.
Please review the Blue Envelope with your driver and place all pertinent paperwork inside.
Envelope checklist:
- Color photocopy of Driver’s License
- Vehicle Registration
- Vehicle Insurance
- Emergency contact name and phone number on card in envelope
- Any other information that may be useful (medication, disabilities, etc.)
Anyone who would like an envelope should stop by the Police Department lobby.
Any questions on the program may contact 215-493-4055. Residents who may need aid finding resources may contact LMTPD Police Co-Responder Taylor Szarko at tszarko@buckscounty.org
The Blue Envelope Program is available to anyone who lives, works, or passes through the township or our surrounding communities!
