C.H.A.D. is an acronym for Children Have An iDentity. TPA joined the Illinois Department of Transportation in supporting this program in 1993 and since then, our organization has helped expand C.H.A.D. to over 29 states and thousands of children. The C.H.A.D. program promotes special child identification stickers that can be placed on children's car seats. Should an emergency occur, these stickers can be used by hospital personnel to contact parents or relatives.
