Yellow Dot

Yellow Dot Quick Facts
The “Yellow Dot” program is designed to assist participating individuals (both drivers and frequent passengers) and first responders in the event of an automobile accident or other medical emergency involving the participant’s vehicle. The program can help save lives by improving communication at a time when accident victims may be unable to communicate for themselves.
Participants receive a Yellow Dot decal to place on their vehicle’s rear window, alerting first responders to look for the corresponding Yellow Dot folder in the glove compartment. The information provided in the folder will allow the first responders to positively identify the person, get in touch with family or emergency contacts, and ensures that the person’s current medications, allergies, and pre-existing medical conditions are considered when treatment is administered for injuries.
Originally founded in Connecticut by Angela DeLeon and the Peoples National Bank (Connecticut), the program has expanded to 8 States since 2002. Support for the Yellow Dot Program at the National/Federal level is limited to the The National Safety Commission, Driver Safety: The Yellow Dot Program for First Responders.
