• Description:
  The Traffic Incident Management Self-Assessment (TIM SA) was developed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as a benchmarking tool for evaluating TIM program components and overall TIM program success. Development of the TIM SA initiated in 2002 and the first assessments were conducted in 2003. The TIM SA serves several functions. Through the TIM SA, State and local TIM program managers are able to assess progress and identify areas for improvement at State and local levels. Similarly, analysis of the aggregated TIM SA results 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 design was for half (40) of the operational areas to complete a reassessment in 2004 and the remaining 40 to do so in 2005. In 2006, FHWA amended the process so that all 80 areas were asked to complete 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. The 2010 TIM SA had a record number of assessments submitted; a total of 92 locations completed a TIM SA for inclusion in the national analysis. Table ES1 shows the total number of new and re-assessments each year.
