| Traffic Incident Management (TIM)
Welcome to the webpage for the Southwestern Pennsylvania Regional TIM Steering Committee. This committee is a joint effort by transportation and public safety representatives from the region. The Steering Committee meets on a quarterly basis.
Mission
To help regional organizations enhance the delivery of traffic incident management services and products for the purpose of improving responder safety, clearing crashes from the roadway as quickly and safely as possible, and improving the availability and reliability of interoperable incident communications.
To accomplish this mission, SPC facilitates a dialogue between leadership and practitioners of the following disciplines:
- Crash & homicide investigators
- Emergency medical services (EMS)
- Fire & rescue
- Hazardous material handlers
- Law enforcement
- Media
|
|
- Medical examiners
- Road maintenance
- Service patrols
- Towing and recovery
- Traffic management centers
- Transportation
|
By bringing these disciplines together, improvements in interagency traffic incident management will be achieved due to better collaboration, cooperation, coordination and communication. SPC uses the National Unified Goal (NUG) for Traffic Incident Management, which provides 18 cross-cutting strategies that can be used to implement the steering committee mission, as a source for guiding principles.
