SHRP 2 Project Brief: A National Traffic Incident Management Training Course for Incident Responders and Managers

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that describes a series of SHRP 2 projects that developed and are helping to refine a National Traffic Incident Management Training Course for first-responders and managers. The course is designed to help to strengthen interdisciplinary traffic incident management programs to improve responder safety; decrease incident duration; and, when combined with traveler information, increase peak-period freeway speeds, reduce crash rates, and improve trip time reliability.
