PA's New Yellow Dot Program

Pennsylvania recently joined a nationwide public safety effort, which has proven to be an effective way for drivers injured in an accident to relay important information to emergency response teams. All you have to do is place a special yellow sticker in the bottom left corner of your vehicle’s rear window. This alerts first responders to check the glove compartment for, among other things, your emergency contact information, medical history, and a list of medications. For more information, please read this pamphlet.
