Village President Gunsteen officially designated April as Autism Awareness Month in Bartlett at the Village Board Meeting on April 7, 2026. Read the full proclamation here: Autism Proclamation

In conjunction with this proclamation, the Village is also promoting the Blue Envelope Program. This free resource, available at the Police Department, helps facilitate safer communication between law enforcement and autistic drivers during traffic stops. 

We encourage all residents to join us in building a more supportive and understanding community. Pictured below is Sgt. Johnson with the Board of Trustees and President Gunsteen as he showcases a sample of the blue envelope program.
