  1. Proposed National Unified Goal For Traffic Incident Management Working Together for Improved Safety, Clearance and Communications

  2. What is Traffic Incident Management? • Traffic Incident Management –TIM – refers to the Procedures and Practices used to respond to traffic incidents. • TIM Programs are based on multidisciplinary Partnerships dedicated to implementing improved TIM Procedures and Practices.

  3. What is the National Unified GoalTraffic Incident Management? The Traffic Incident Management National Unified GOAL is: • Responder Safety; • Safe, Quick Clearance; and • Prompt, Reliable, Interoperable Communications.

  4. How Will We Achieve theNational Unified Goal ? NTIMC will achieve the three major objectives of the National Unified Goal by implementing 18 strategies. Some of the major strategies include: • Recommended practices for multidisciplinary TIM operations and communications; • Multidisciplinary TIM training; • Goals for performance and progress; • Promotion of beneficial technologies; and • Partnerships to promote driver awareness.

  5. NUG Objective 1Responder Safety • Responder deaths and injuries are an increasing concern. • >300 law enforcement officers die in vehicle incidents each year. • >20% annual firefighter deaths occur on roadways. • 5 towing industry struck-by deaths in first 3 months of 2006.

  6. NUG Objective 1Responder Safety NUG Strategies for promoting Responder Safety are: • Recommended Practices for Responder Safety; • Move Over / Slow Down Laws; and • Driver Training and Awareness.

  7. NUG Objective 2Safe, Quick Clearance • Non-recurring traffic incidents account for one-fourth of congestion and delay. • 1 minute of Interstate lane blockage = 4 minutes of delay. • TIM promotes quicker clearance, but not at the expense of responder safety, or of achievement of the missions of all responders.

  8. NUG Objective 2Safe, Quick Clearance NUG Strategies for promoting Safe, Quick Clearance are: • Multidisciplinary TIM Procedures; • Response and Clearance Time Goals; and • 24 / 7 Availability.

  9. NUG Objective 3Prompt, Reliable, Interoperable Communications Improving incident communications is essential to achieving other goals. Because incident communications is both important and complex, it is highlighted as the third NUG objective.

  10. NUG Strategies for promoting Prompt, Reliable, Interoperable Communications are: Multidisciplinary Communications Practices and Protocols Prompt, Reliable Responder Notification Interoperable Voice and Data Networks Broadband Emergency Communications Systems Prompt, Reliable Traveler Information Systems Partnerships with News Media and Information Providers NUG Objective 3Prompt, Reliable, Interoperable Communications

  11. 6 NUG Cross-Cutting Strategies 6 NUG Strategies are cross-cutting. These strategies are the foundation for achieving all 3 major objectives of the NUG. • TIM Parterships and Programs • Multidisciplinary NIMS and TIM Training • Goals for Performance and Progress • TIM Technology • Effective TIM Policies • Awareness and Education Partnerships

  12. NTIMC Member Organizations • Transportation (AASHTO, ATA/ATRI, ATSSA, FHWA, ITE, ITSA, I-95 CC, TRB, AMPO) • Fire & Rescue (Emergency Responder Safety Institute, IAFC, IAFF, IFSTA, NFPA, NVFC, USFA) • Emergency Medical Services (NASEMSO) • Public Safety Communications (APCO, NENA) • Towing & Recovery (TRAA, AAA) • Law Enforcement (IACP)

  13. NUG Development Process • Listening (Summer-Fall 2006) • Consensus Development Conference, Nov. 28-29, 2006, Newport Beach, CA • Incorporation of Conference Input (Steering Committee) • NTIMC Release of Proposed NUG (March 1, 2007) • Official ratification by Coalition Member Organizations (Spring-Summer 2007) • Release of Final NUG at Joint Press Event (Fall -2007)
