Traffic incidents are one of the most dangerous situations for first responders, towing and recovery professionals, and transportation personnel. The Colorado TIM Program offers specialized training to equip responders with the skills and strategies needed to manage incidents safely, efficiently, and effectively.
Through TIM training, participants learn proven techniques to reduce incident clearance times, minimize responder exposure to live traffic, and improve coordination among agencies - all of which enhance roadway safety for both responders and the traveling public.
Improves Responder Safety - Learn how to position vehicles, deploy traffic control devices, and manage incident scenes to minimize risk.
Reduces Secondary Crashes - Every minute saved in clearing an incident reduces the chance of additional collisions.
Enhances Multi-Agency Coordination - Effective communication and role clarity among law enforcement, fire, EMS, towing, and CDOT lead to safer and more efficient responses.
Meets Federal and State Standards - Training aligns with the National Unified Goal (NUG) for TIM, supporting standardized response practices across agencies.

✔️Law Enforcement Officers (State Patrol, Local Police, Sheriff's Office)
✔️Firefighters & EMS Personnel
✔️Towing & Recovery Operators
