Responder SafetyAnnually, dozens of Fire/EMS, Law Enforcement, Towing and Highway responders are struck, injured or killed nationally while working in or near traffic.
Quantifying the Problem – Quantifying the Problem – Responder Safety and Costs Responder Safety and Costs
Societal CostsAnnual cost of congestion and traffic crashes nearly $400B, an increase of 45-83% from 2008 figures.
National TIM Program Vision… National TIM Program Vision…
Through continuous and enhanced planning and training of all TIM personnel:
1.Reduce or eliminate responder and motorist injuries and fatalities
2.Promote rapid incident clearance thereby reducing traffic congestion and vulnerability
3.Develop or enhance local TIM Programs that ultimately benefit corridors, regions and states
4.Measure performance that demonstrates improved TIM responses and programs over time
5.Emphasize TIM as a system operations “core mission” for all responders

What Gets Measured Gets Performed...
• Quantifying TIM benefits will advance program continuity:
– Builds critical mass for program support from managers and elected officials:
• Supporting what works
– Ensures buy-in from diverse stakeholders:
• Multiple agencies, coordinated response
• Three measures: Roadway Clearance Time, Incident Clearance Time, Secondary Incidents
What is SHRP2?What is SHRP2?
• $218 million, federally funded research program to address critical transportation challenges:
– Making highways safer
– Fixing deteriorating infrastructure
– Reducing congestion
• Collaborative effort of AASHTO, FHWA, and TRB
• Aims to advance innovative ways to plan, renew, operate, and improve safety on the Nation's highways 14
Save lives. Save money. Save time.
SHRP2–L12: Training Course SHRP2–L12: Training Course ElementsElements
• Course Design:
– Final course developed so it can be taught by experienced trainers from all disciplines
– Presented in its entirety or through selected modules
– Four Hour Version will be available
• Course Delivery Mechanisms:
– Provide course to existing entities already conducting training – central body sets course
– Flexible approach – delivery provided at local level
– Instructors from different disciplines
DeliveryDelivery
• Train the Trainer (TtT): Multi- discipline full curriculum developed in SHRP2 L12 project. After completing the TtT, course participants will be equipped to provide the training to a larger audience of incident responders in their discipline.
• Classroom Training: Multi-discipline trainers trained through the TtT courses will conduct classroom-based training for a broader audience of incident responders across that state and/or region.
