Incident Management

Traffic Incident Management

The mission of the District Six Traffic Incident Management (TIM) is to develop recommendations that provide safe and efficient multi-agency responses to traffic incidents that affect our regional transportation system. There are two TIM Teams in District Six: the Miami-Dade County TIM Team and the Monroe County TIM Team.

To achieve program goals, the District Six TIM Teams perform a variety of functions that are helping to improve response efforts and procedures within the incident management community. The TIM Teams coordinate regular outreach and Post Incident Analysis (PIA) meetings with partner agencies to increase program awareness and establish protocols that stem from past events. They also conduct training for Department-related initiatives to deliver a unified and consistent message.

The TIM Teams bring together various agencies to discuss ways to provide and improve operational services related to incident management in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties.

These agencies include:

• Law Enforcement
• Fire and Rescue
• Emergency Management
• Towing and Recovery Services
• Emergency Medical Services
• Hazardous Materials Contractors
• Transportation
• Traffic Information Media / Local Media
• Community Traffic Safety Teams
• Maintenance and Asset Management

To enhance outreach efforts between District Six and its partners, the team produces The TIM Quarterly Review , which is distributed every three months.
