DVRPC's Traffic Incident Management (TIM) Program addresses regional safety issues by convening traffic incident management task forces. These task force meetings offer emergency responders the chance to build relationships, discuss incident management protocol, participate in training, and share challenges and successes away from the scene of an incident with the goal of improving responder safety and incident clearance while minimizing impacts on traffic.
Currently, DVRPC manages task forces in eight counties across Pennsylvania and New Jersey. See the map for IMTF location information.
