Incident management is the process of managing multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional responses to highway traffic disruptions. Efficient and coordinated management of incidents reduces their adverse impacts on public safety, traffic conditions, and the local economy. This document focuses on managing the majority of traffic incidents, averaging less than two hours in duration. Incidents of longer duration, special events, and natural disasters have significant impact on traffic and demand resources from the organizations identified in this and other documents.
