Successfully Managing Traffic Incidents Is No Accident

This is the first of a series of articles published in FHWA's Public Roads magazine (July/August 2013 issue) to describe the new public safety discipline known as traffic incident management (TIM). A guest editorial by FHWA's Associate Administrator for Operations accompanies this article, which provides a general overview of the National TIM program and its history. Both the editorial by Mr. Lindley and the article, written by Traffic Incident & Events Management Team Leader, Kimberly C. Vasconez, are included in this entry.
