In Case Of Emergency, Call...

A new PennDOT website allows Pa. drivers to provide emergency contact information for a family member or friend in the event that they are incapacitated or unable to communicate with emergency responders.

To log in to the site, drivers need to enter their Pa. driver license number, their date of birth, and the last four digits of their Social Security number.

Once entered by the driver license holder, the information resides in an online database that is only accessible to law enforcement and other emergency personnel. In the event of a crash or other emergency, those personnel can retrieve the emergency contact information for a person designated by the driver's license holder.
