First Responder Committee

Uniting First Responders for Safer, More Efficient Incident Response

The First Responder Committee is a statewide initiative dedicated to improving communications, coordination, and safety for emergency personnel responding to roadway incidents. This committee serves as a collaborative forum for law enforcement, fire, EMS, towing professionals, and CDOT to discuss challenges, share best practices, and develop strategies that enhance responder safety and traffic incident management (TIM) efficiency. 


Through regular meetings, training initiatives, and policy recommendations, the First Responder Committee plays a critical role in shaping Colorado's TIM strategies and improving roadway safety.
