Develop and sustain a region-wide incident management program to
facilitate the safest and fastest roadway clearance, lessening
the impact on emergency responders and the motoring public.
Purpose
The purpose of
the TIME Task Force is three-fold:
1. To continue the dialogue on ways to improve inter-agency coordination
and cooperation.
2. To create an opportunity for multi-agency training which promotes
teamwork.
3. To serve as a platform for participants to develop common
operational strategies and a better understanding of other agencies'
roles and responsibilities.
Did You Know...over 50%
of the congestion in the Atlanta region is caused by non-recurring
incidents. Incident management increases the operating efficiency,
safety and mobility of the highway by systematically reducing
the time to detect and verify an incident occurrence; implementing
the appropriate response; safely clearing the incident while
managing the affected flow until full capacity is restored;
and providing motorists with enough information about the incident
to make knowledgeable decisions.
