Sample Traffic Incident Management Plan (TIMP) Checklist
This sample checklist can be used to develop a Traffic Incident Management Plan (TIMP) for construction projects. Download the editable .docx template from the Attachment field on this page.
TIMP Checklist
A Traffic Incident Management Plan (TIMP) includes, but is not limited to, the following topics on the checklist. The TIMP Checklist is intended to be used in conjunction with each TIM meeting. TIM meetings are to be held before construction work begins (scheduled by District TSMO Coordinator, or designee) and again before each phase change (scheduled by the Project Engineer). All TIM meetings will be led by, with documentation prepared and distributed by, the District TSMO Coordinator, or designee.
