SUMMARY:NJLTAP - Introduction to NJ’s Traffic Incident Management Training
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:\nThis is our first mini-webinar of 2024. This session will provide an overview of Traffic Incident Management (TIM) and the coordinated program institutionalized in New Jersey. \nTraffic incidents are unplanned roadway events that affect or impede the normal flow of traffic. Traffic incidents increase the likelihood of secondary crashes and pose a threat to the safety of incident responders as well as the traveling public. Incidents affect travel reliability\, commerce\, and transportation system performance. One of the essential responsibilities of transportation and public safety agencies is to ensure the safe and quick clearance of traffic incidents. \nTraffic Incident Management (TIM) consists of a planned and coordinated multi-disciplinary process to detect\, respond to\, and clear traffic incidents so that traffic flow may be restored as safely and quickly as possible. Effective TIM reduces the duration and impacts of traffic incidents; improves the safety of motorists\, crash victims\, and emergency responders; and reduces the frequency of secondary crashes. \nThe goal for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) TIM Program is to continuously improve the safety of responders and road users\, the reliability of travel\, and the efficiency of incident and emergency response through institutionalization of TIM programs. \nLearning Objectives:   \n\nLearn there is a standardized Traffic Incident Management training in New Jersey\nUnderstand the role of first responders in Traffic Incident Management\nDescribe the fundamental pieces of Traffic Incident Management\n\nIntended Audience:\nNew Jersey Municipal and County Utility and Public Works personnel \nPre-Requisites:\nNone \nCredits:\n1 CPWM Technical Contact Hours \nPresenter: \nRobert Pomykala\, Statewide TIM Training Coordinator \nSponsor:\nThis workshop is sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration and New Jersey Department of Transportation through the New Jersey Local Technical Assistance Program.
