  This report summarizes the proceedings, findings, and recommendations from a two-day Senior
  
  Executive Summit on
  
  Transportation and Public Safety, held June 26 and 27, 2012 at the United States Department of
  
  Transportation (USDOT) in Washington, D.C. This forum of senior-level, multi-disciplinary
  
  executives representing the transportation, law enforcement, fire and rescue, and emergency medical
  
  services communities addressed major challenges and innovative solutions in enhancing the state of
  
  the practice nationally in Traffic Incident Management (TIM). Secretary of Transportation Ray
  
  LaHood, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Deputy Administrator Greg Nadeau, and FHWA Executive
  
  Director Jeff Paniati provided opening remarks expressing the commitment of the entire Department
  
  to support safe, quick traffic incident response on the Nation’s roadways. Participants at the
  
  Summit discussed innovative practices in TIM policies, legislation, training and outreach. Summit
  
  highlights included discussions and presentations on the following issues: Improving responder and
  
  motorist safety and consistency among jurisdictions; Supporting TIM outreach initiatives and
  
  messaging; Enhancing State and local legislation and policies that advance TIM planning and
  
  operations, including Driver Removal and Authority Removal legislation; Supporting urgent and
  
  clearly-defined research strategies, such as model Move Over and Driver Removal laws, the effects
  
  of emergency lighting, and the impact of TIM performance measures; Implementing the National TIM
  
  Responder Training course developed through the Transportation Research Board’s Second Strategic
  
  Highway Research Program (SHRP 2); Improving the efficiency of the highway system through possible
  
  cost-recovery strategies, better investment of cost-efficient resources, and improved communication
  
  among responders about roles and responsibilities; and Developing an action-based executive group
  
  equipped to provide leadership, support, and guidance in
  
  advancing priority actions.
