Crash Responder Safety Week 2026: November 2-6

Slow Down, Move Over. Lives are on the Line!

Every few seconds, a traffic incident responder puts their life on the line to aid crash victims and to safely and quickly clear crashes as well as other traffic incidents that could otherwise result in a secondary crash. Every year traffic incident responders are killed in the line of duty or bear life-long scars from life-altering injuries.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) began commemorating Crash Responder Safety week (CRSW) in 2016, now annually, it takes place in November. CRSW affords a unique opportunity for every Traffic Incident Management (TIM) community member to make a difference individually and jointly for roadway safety during traffic incidents

Traffic incident response is a collaborative effort engaging EMS, law enforcement, fire and rescue, public works, towing and recovery, transportation, and other disciplines. TIM communities across the nation come together this week by teaching each other and all road users about our common goal and responsibility for safe, quick roadway clearance.

TIM communities use this week to:

  • Remind all road users to slow down, move over, and remain alert when approaching all forms of traffic incident response activity –whether aiding a stalled vehicle, clearing roadway debris, or responding to a crash.
  • Encourage all traffic incident responders to complete the free, four-hour National TIM Responder training.

Daily Themes:

  • Monday (11/2): Slow Down, Move Over / National Kickoff Webinar
  • Tuesday (11/3): Driver Education
  • Wednesday (11/4): Responder Training
  • Thursday (11/5): More Than a Crash (Highway Heroes / Quick Clearance)
  • Friday (11/6): Roadside Lifeline (Incidents beyond crashes, debris, medical emergencies)

Traffic Incident Management (TIM)

Welcome to the Nevada Traffic Incident Management (TIM) Program, a statewide initiative dedicated to improving the safety and efficiency of Nevada’s roadways by equipping first responders, transportation agencies, towing professionals, and others, with the tools and training needed to manage traffic incidents effectively and safely. This is maintaining a focus on the safety of Nevada’s First Responders as well as the motorists.

Every minute a roadway incident remains unresolved increases the risk of secondary crashes by 2.8% and puts responders and the traveling public at risk. We aim to reduce incident clearance times, enhance responder safety, and minimize traffic delays, ensuring Nevada’s roads remain as safe and efficient as possible.

What We Do

Provide TIM Training

Offering specialized training for law enforcement, fire departments, emergency medical services, towing and recovery operators, and transportation personnel to enhance coordinated response efforts.

Promote Interagency Collaboration

Bringing together key stakeholders to improve incident response strategies across disciplines.

Develop TIM Coalitions

Supporting local and regional TIM teams to implement best practices and strengthen community response capabilities for the 7 coalitions in Nevada.

Enhance Public Awareness

Working with key stakeholders to help educate motorists on Nevada traffic laws, safe driving behaviors near incident scenes, and the importance of reducing distractions in work zones. Responder safety is still the main focus for all activity while on a crash scene.
