Tim EmingtonTRIMARC
Increase awareness of the National TIM Incident
Responder Training Program
Outline the business case
Present an overview of the training
Identify course highlights, benefits, and support
Offer options for engagement
Purpose of Today’s Briefing
Optimizing Use and
Operations of Our
Highway Network
To Support the
Traveling Public
New Emphasis on Operations
Source: Emergency Responder Safety Institute, AAA
A police officer is 18 times more likely to die
from being hit by a vehicle than being struck by
a bullet. Mortality rates are staggering:
• 6 – 8 die each year:
Fire/Rescue, EMS
• 10-12 die each year:
Law Enforcement
• 50 die each year: Towing
• 100 die each year + 20,000
injured: Highway Personnel
Quantifying the Issue –
Responder Safety
Making the Business Case

• Safety: Victims; Responders; Travelers
• Cost: Delays; Economy; Freight Movement; Supply Chain;
Protecting our Investment

TIM Defined
• TIM consists of a planned and coordinated
multidisciplinary 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 and improves the safety of
motorists, crash victims, and emergency
responders

Safe, Quick Clearance…
Second of the three main NUG objectives, it is the practice
of rapidly, safely, and aggressively removing temporary
obstructions from the roadway
Safe, Quick ClearanceLesson 2
4H-24
KRS 189.580 Duty in case of accident -- Movement of vehicle from
roadway after accident -- Removal of vehicles obstructing roadway
• Driver Stop
• Driver Removal
• Authority Removal
• Authority Tow
• Cost Recovery
What is Safe, Quick Clearance?
• Working with a sense of urgency
• Utilizing Unified Command and incorporating safe, quick
clearance into the incident objectives
• Completing tasks concurrently whenever possible
• Regularly assessing traffic control and on-scene
activities to determine if additional lanes can be opened
• Utilizing all available resources for clearance activities
• Thinking outside of the box and considering how things
could be done differently
Lesson 2
4H-25
Move Over Laws
Move Over Laws require drivers approaching a scene where
emergency responders are present to either change lanes when
possible and/or reduce vehicle speed
Lesson 2
4H-26
KRS189.930 Right-of-way to emergency vehicles -- Blocking or
following emergency vehicles
Lesson Objectives
At the conclusion of this lesson, participants will be able to:
1. Recognize the important role public safety communications centers play in
incident response
2. Describe the notification and verification process
3. Recall the typical responsibilities of a Transportation Management Center
(TMC)
4. List the key information that should be included in a scene size-up report
Lesson 3
4H-27
Progress Reports
• A detailed scene size-up should be provided within
15 minutes
• Additional progress reports should be provided at
regular intervals

Lesson 3
4H-28
Vehicle Positioning
• There are two ways an emergency response vehicle is commonly positioned on the roadway
– Angled
– Parallel (straight)
• Considerations for determining how to position a vehicle include:
– Current conditions, such as roadway geometry, sight distance, weather, etc.
– Safety of other responders, crash victims, and passing motorists
– Impact to vehicle visibility, including vehicle markings and emergency vehicle lighting

Command Structures
Single Command
• Incident Commander has complete responsibility for incident management
Unified Command
• Utilized when incidents require multi-jurisdictional or multi-agency response
• Allows all agencies to:
– Work together without affecting authority, responsibility, or accountability
– Manage an incident together by establishing a common set of incident objectives and strategies

Spill Response – Vehicle Fluids
Once the spill has been identified as a vehicle fluid that does not meet reportable quantity thresholds:
1. Stop leaking material at the source
2. Contain and limit the spill from spreading
3. Apply available absorbents (not sand)
4. Remove material from travel lanes
5. Gradually restore traffic flow
Lesson 8
4H-45
Off-Site Landing Zones
• Use of an off-site landing zone is acceptable if there will be no delay to patient care

– Numbered placard
– Placard with an orange panel
– Warning or other placard
• Shipping papers or bill of lading

– Demobilizing and removing equipment,
personnel, and response vehicles
– Restoring traffic flow to normal or close to
normal
Lesson 9

State
Implementation
Plan
Critical Link: Trainers
Training Others
Sponsoring agencies develop a State or Regional Implementation Plan
• Plan identifies:
- Overall Agency Lead (DOT, Fire, Patrol, EMS, etc)
- Training facility/ and logistics
- Outreach to all disciplines and partnering sponsors to identify
30 +/- trainers
- Supply active trainers – each qualified instructor will need to
reach minimum of 100 responders
- Reporting
- Encourage/require responders to attend
• Remains a living document
Local Commitment is Essential
WHO
• Has overall (or shared) responsibility for training
implementation?
• Are the qualified, multidisciplinary trainers who will
conduct the training?
• Are the multidisciplinary recipients (students) of
the training?
• Can be contacted at FHWA for questions or more
information?
HOW
• Will the training be promoted?
• Much time can the students commit to training (4
hours or 10 hours)?
• Will the students be tracked and documented?
WHEN
and
WHERE
• Will the training be conducted?

• Objectives:
– Reduce or eliminate responder
and motorist injuries and fatalities
– Promote rapid incident clearance,
thereby reducing traffic congestion
and vulnerability
– Reduce costs associated with
traffic incidents
• Outcomes:
– Develop or enhance local TIM Programs that ultimately benefit corridors,
regions, and states
– Measure performance that demonstrates improved TIM responses and
programs over time
– Emphasize TIM as a system operations “core mission” for all responders

Ties into National TIM
Responder Goals
Why is this important?
64
“The whole idea is to get responders to play in the sandbox
together again. We have trained well in years past but
always in our own little silos. We must break down these
self-imposed barriers to provide better service to our
constituents and a safer work area for ourselves at the
incident scene.”
- Indiana State Police Major (Ret.) Thomas E. Melville
