Motorists who are interested in the Yellow Dot program should first find their local enrollment site here. Enrollment sites can provide the Yellow Dot packet, assist with filling out the medical information sheet, and take a photo of the participant.
Participants in the program will receive a Yellow DOT decal, a Yellow DOT folder, and a medical information sheet.
The participant will complete the medical information sheet, which consists of their emergency contact information, medical information, recent surgeries, hospital preferences, current medications, insurance and physician information. A personalized photo should also be taken and placed on the sheet. This information will be the sole responsibility of the participant and should remain in the glove compartment inside the yellow folder provided.
The Yellow DOT decal should be placed on the driver's side rear window of the vehicle.
The information in the Yellow DOT folder is not kept by any agency or person and will only be accessed by first responders in case of a roadway incident where emergency medical attention is needed.
** It is important to note that while the initial focus of the Yellow Dot program was senior drivers, any driver or passenger who is medically affected can take advantage of this program. Any person who has a medical condition, allergy, or who takes daily prescriptions would benefit from this program. This information can be critical for first responders to know in order to make the best possible decision during a medical emergency.
