The Virginia DMV's Blue Envelope Program: The Virginia DMV's Blue Envelope Program is a voluntary initiative designed to help drivers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) communicate more effectively with law enforcement during traffic stops. It provides a discreet way for individuals to inform officers about their condition and any communication needs, potentially reducing anxiety and misunderstandings.

The program is free, and the envelopes are available at all Virginia DMV customer service centers.
