Congresswoman Norton introduced a bill to fund "blue envelope" programs for drivers with communication difficulties during traffic stops.
Quiver AI Summary
Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton has introduced a bill aimed at making "blue envelope" programs eligible for federal transportation safety funding. These programs, which improve communication between police officers and drivers who may have difficulty speaking during traffic stops, are currently not eligible for such funding despite their implementation in various states.
Since its inception in Connecticut in 2020, the blue envelope program allows drivers to present their communication limitations to law enforcement, reducing misunderstandings during stops. Norton emphasized the importance of these programs, stating they lead to fewer negative interactions and are supported by both police and drivers.
The American Association of People with Disabilities has voiced its support for the bill, with President Maria Town highlighting that these programs could mitigate risks for disabled individuals during traffic encounters, helping bridge communication barriers effectively.
