-Summary:
State and local Traffic Incident Management (TIM) programs cover a broad range of maturity from emerging programs to those that are advanced. The Talking TIM Webinar Series seeks to provide a forum where TIM champions with any level of experience can exchange information about current practices, programs, and technologies. Each month, Talking TIM will highlight successful programs, identify best practices, and showcase technology that advances the profession.
This month's webinar will feature the streamlined FHWA TIM Self Assessment (kicking off in September), the innovative Arizona TIM program, and how EMS responder communities can earn professional credits for National TIM Responder training. Presenters on these topics include:

Meet the Executive leadership Group – Dia Gainor National Association of State EMS Officials
Rebecca Brewster, President and Chief Operating Officer at the American Transportation Research Institute, will introduce the streamlined and updated FHWA TIM Self Assessment Tool.
