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.

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

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.

NUG Objective 1 Responder 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.

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

NUG Objective 2
Safe, 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.

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

NUG Objective 3
Prompt, 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.

NUG Objective 3
Prompt, Reliable, Interoperable Communications
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

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
