Trainings
The TIM training program focuses on a response effort that protects motorists and responders while minimizing the impact on traffic flow. TIM efforts include detecting, verifying, and responding to incidents. Individuals involved will vary depending on the severity or type of incident, law enforcement, fire, transportation, emergency medical services, public safety, towing and recovery, and public works.
Using a multi-disciplinary approach, first responders within the region learn how to operate more efficiently and collaboratively.
There are three different types of traffic incident management training opportunities available. Details for each are shown below.
