Beginning April 10, 2012, the Yellow Dot Program (YDP) will be
kicked- off and will be available to West Virginia citizens
throughout the State.
While the YDP is mainly geared toward the senior population who
has a medical condition or suffers from allergic reactions to
certain medications, anyone of any age can participate.
Interested participants may sign up to participate in the program
at any DMV Regional Office throughout the State beginning April 10,
2012.
The participant will be asked to sign a consent form, they will
then be provided with a current picture, an emergency
contact/medical information sheet and a Yellow Dot folder to house
these items in the glove compartment.
A Yellow Dot Sticker will also be provided to be placed on the
outside of the lower left rear window of the vehicle.
In the event of a crash, the first responder will know to look for
a yellow dot sticker on the rear window and look in the glove
compartment for a yellow dot folder containing information about
the driver, a list of medications taken, allergies, etc., along
with a photograph of the individual.
