• Abstract:
  Because of the number of incidents and the magnitude of their consequences, the Virginia Department of transportation made a concerted effort to ensure that incident management became a top priority and spearheaded an effort to start a statewide incident management program. This report documents that program. This program was concerned with the coordination of programs involved in preventing incidents and those concerned with detecting, responding to, and clearing incidents after they occur. Formal incident management programs in three large urban areas in addition to other efforts by the VIrginia Department of'l.'ransportation, the VIrginia State Police, and Fairfax County are summarized. The documentation contained herein can be used to aid other states in developing incident management programs.
