Kentucky joins lifesaving 'Yellow Dot’'Program 
Nationwide program may save more lives on Kentucky roadwaysClicking on headline accesses full story including lists of Kentucky Transportion Cabinet locations, Kentucky State Police Posts, and designated hospitals where information and pamphlets to be filled out and kept in car are located, along with linked Yellow Dot logo, pamphlet PDF From Commonwealth News Center FRANKFORT, KY - (26 Oct 2015) - Governor Steve Beshear today announced the launch of Kentucky's Yellow Dot program, designed to improve emergency care to motorists involved in a vehicle crash. The "dot" - a circular yellow sticker on the lower left corner of the driver's 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. "We are always looking for ways to improve safety on Kentucky roadways, and the Yellow Dot program could truly be a lifesaver," said Gov. Beshear. "If a motorist is unconscious after a crash, every minute matters, and I believe this program could mean the difference between life and death." The all-important pamphlet includes the participant's name, photo, medical conditions, recent surgeries, current medications, allergies, physical information and emergency contact information. Kentucky's program will be administered through the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS). The Yellow Dot program originated in Connecticut in 2002 and now has spread to 15 other states. "This program is growing nationwide," said Gov. Beshear. "Not only will it help our residents, but with major interstates bringing out-of-state travelers through the Commonwealth every day, we knew Kentucky needed to be on board." Yellow Dot users are encouraged to periodically review and update their pamphlet. "Current information is especially important when dealing with medical conditions and prescriptions," said KOHS Executive Director Bill Bell. "It determines the type of treatment emergency responders can or cannot safely provide." Funding for the Yellow Dot program in Kentucky is provided by a grant through the Federal Highway Safety Administration. 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. Packets are also available at various hospitals throughout the state. "The Kentucky Hospital Association is pleased to work with the Governor's Office and the Office of Highway Safety on this important health initiative that will be so valuable to the citizens of the Commonwealth," said Michael T. Rust, president of the association. The website for Yellow Dot is Yellowdot.ky.gov. As distribution locations are added, the list below will be updated on the website.
