ABOUT THE TIM COALITION
Agency Champions
Launched in 2008, the Southern Nevada Traffic Information Management, or “TIM” Coalition is a partnership of agencies and organizations working together toward a common objective – reduce roadway and incident clearance times, and reduce the number of secondary crashes. Simply put, restoring roadways quickly and safely following an incident saves lives.
A Northern Nevada TIM Coalition was recently formed and efforts are underway to create a statewide team. More information will be added as the northern Nevada team and statewide team continue their development.
Agencies and organizations are making a real impact by working together on ways to coordinate and sustain a TIM program that improves safety for responders and motorists, and reduces travel delay. Since the formation of the southern Nevada team communications among responding agencies have been enhanced, contracts are in place with environmental and recovery organizations for quicker hazmat clean-up and large vehicle removal, and a joint operating policy statement is in place. Quicker clearance protects incident responders and those in their care and facilitates safer traffic flow past the incident.
