\nKentucky had launched of Kentucky’s Yellow Dot program, designed to improve emergency care to motorists involved in a vehicle crash.<\/p>\n

The \u201cdot\u201d, a circular yellow sticker on the lower left corner of the driver\u2019s side rear window, alerts emergency responders that a pamphlet with identification and medical information about the motorist is in the glove box. Smaller yellow stickers are available for placement on motorcycle license plates.<\/p>\n

The all-important pamphlet includes the participant\u2019s name, photo, medical conditions, recent surgeries, current medications, allergies, physical information and emergency contact information.<\/p>\n

Kentucky\u2019s program will be administered through the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety. The Yellow Dot program originated in Connecticut in 2002 and now has spread to 15 other states.<\/p>\n

Yellow Dot users are encouraged to periodically review and update their pamphlet.<\/p>\n

Funding for the Yellow Dot program in Kentucky is provided by a grant through the Federal Highway Safety Administration.<\/p>\n

Email yellowdotky@ky.gov to request a packet or pick up a packet at the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) central office, any KYTC district office or Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post.<\/p>\n

Packets are also available at various hospitals throughout the state.<\/p>\n
