Train-the-Trainer Pilot Courses for Incident Responders and Managers (*SHRP 2 Prepublication Report)

Greetings!
Traffic incidents account for up to 25% of all congestion and 40% of nonrecurring congestion. Improving traffic incident management (TIM) practices offers regions a highly cost-effective and sustainable opportunity to improve the reliability of their roadways. SHRP 2 Project L12 (Improving Traffic Incident Scene Management) developed one of the first comprehensive, multidisciplinary, peer-validated national incident responder training curricula and materials for use by TIM programs in jurisdictions large and small across the country. To build on this research, SHRP 2 Project L32A (Train-the-Trainer Pilot Courses for Incident Responders and Managers) validated and improved the national TIM training program by training nearly 200 new TIM responders in four states. The final report for project L32A documents these activities.
* To make research available as early as possible, SHRP 2 is temporarily posting final reports that have been submitted by the research team, reviewed according to the relevant National Academy of Sciences procedures, and accepted for publication. These prepublication drafts, which have not been edited or formatted for publication, will be replaced by the final versions as they complete the editorial process.
