TRAINING PROVIDED AT NO COST! Receive 4 hours of in-service credit through DCJS, OEMS, or VDFP A coordinated, multi-disciplinary training program developed through the Second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2) available for all emergency responders and those supporting Traffic Incident Management operations. This training puts police, firefighters, state and local departments of transportation, towing, medical personnel, and other incident responders on the same page, leading to a safer, faster, integrated responder team. Save Lives  Faster incident response and clearance times result in fewer secondary crashes.  Training results in less exposure of responder team to moving traffic during recovery. Save Money  Less congestion leads to fewer freight and traveler delays in backups.  Fewer secondary crashes save on insurance claims.  Faster cleanups lead to cost savings for incident personnel. Save Time  Smarter response techniques cut congestion clearance time - decreasing delays. VDOT's Northwest Regional Incident Management Coordinator facilitates the promotion and promulgation of the NUG concepts at existing local TIM's groups and creates new groups where none previously existed.  The RIMC also facilitates SHRP2 training to the regional first responders and communicates openly of "Best Practices" used in other jurisdictions of safe, quick clearance concepts and operational aspects.  Collaboration with the Department of Transportation and Emergency Service partners in support of improved communications before, during and after emergencies to improve and enhance interoperability.
