Regional and Statewide Programs and Institutional Coordination
Traffic Incident Management programs usually form at tactical or on-scene response levels in partner organizations and their activities are lead and coordinated at mid-management levels in those agencies. To assure lasting success of a true multi-agency regional or statewide TIM program, "strategic" (high level) coordination is also needed. This Program or high-level institutional coordination of agency executives provides the policy and program coordination needed to assure that partner agencies will work closely together at all levels of the program and will coordinate and assist each other in the budgeting process to provide resources each agency needs to be full active partners in the program.
The programs and institutional area addresses program organization, objectives and priorities, agency roles and relationships, resource allocation, and performance measurement.
