• Description:
  The Traffic Incident Management Self-Assessment (TIM SA) is a benchmarking tool for evaluating TIM program components and overall TIM program success. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) initiated development of the TIM SA in 2002 and the first assessments were conducted in 2003. While the TIM SA is intended to provide local TIM program managers with a way to assess progress, analysis of the aggregated TIM SA results also allows FHWA to identify program gaps and better target TIM program resources. There are 80 FHWA-defined operational areas (States, regions, localities) in the annual TIM SA process. The original plan for the TIM SA was to have 40 of the operational areas complete a re-assessment in 2004 and the remaining 40 to do so in 2005. In 2006, the decision was made to have all 80 areas conduct the TIM SA on an annual basis. Since the inaugural TIM SA in 2003, additional TIM programs beyond the original 80 have completed and submitted the TIM SA for inclusion in the national analysis. A total of 86 TIM SA were submitted for the 2009 national analysis, the largest number submitted to date. Table ES1 shows the total number of new and re-assessments each year.
