Abstract: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.
