TIM Team Workbook
The TIM Team Workbook was created as a cooperative effort between the Colorado Department of Transportation’s Division of Maintenance and Operations, Colorado State Patrol, and representatives from jurisdictions across Colorado. This workbook reflects recent experience of TIM Teams in Colorado and is intended to serve as a guide for TIM Teams at all levels of maturity to improve and make their programs more effective.
Information from this workbook has been used as a basis for many areas that will be presented at this year’s Colorado TIM Conference. TIM Teams throughout Colorado are encouraged to use this as they continue to find ways to increase their effectiveness by focusing on shared goals including:
Improve safety of first responders, patients, and the general public during incident response;
Explore strategies for minimizing exposure of first responders to active traffic;
Implement strategies through training, policy guidelines, procedural changes and TIM Plan updates;
Identify improvements to the physical infrastructure or programs that may reduce incident impacts on traffic.
