About

The Washington Traffic Incident Management Coalition (WaTIMCo) was established in 2009 to coordinated incident responses on Washington state highways for vital life-saving operations, congestion management and accident-investigations.

Purpose: bring together the transportation, public safety, towing and recovery, technology, academic and research, and motorist communities to lead a statewide effort to improve traffic incident management policies, practices and programs.

Vision: safe and efficient management of all incidents that occur on or substantially affecting the state’s roadways.

Mission: provide a multi-disciplinary partnership forum spanning the public safety and transportation communities to implement the National Unified Goal of traffic incident management which is responder safety, safe, quick clearance; and prompt, reliable interoperable communications.
