In 2016 a total of 94 locations completed a TIM SA for inclusion in the national analysis FHWA Self Assessment for Traffic Incident Management
A few of the questions are below. How would your agency answer ?
Is there a formal TIM program that is supported by Multidiscipline, Multi- agency team or taskforce, which meets regularly to discuss and plan for TIM activities?
Is the importance of TIM understood by all TIM stakeholders and supported by multidiscipline, multi-agency agreements or memorandums of understanding (MOUs)?
Are all disciplines and agencies participating in on-going TIM enhancement activities/efforts?
For incidents involving a fatality, is there a procedure for the removal of the deceased prior to Medical Examiner arrival?
Are there policies or procedures in place for signal timing changes to support traffic management during incident response?
Are there pre-planned detour and/or alternate routes identified and shared between TIM stakeholders?
Do towing and recovery procedures/rotation list policies deploy resources based on type/severity of incident?
