National Traffic Incident Management Coalition
The National Traffic Incident Management Coalition (NTIMC) is an assembly of national organizations representing the public safety, transportation, and towing and recovery communities. Organizations are members and designate their representatives to Coalition meetings.
The Coalition was formed as a result of the 2002 National Conference on Traffic Incident Management.
The coalition was officially launched at its formative meeting on June 23, 2004 in Washington , DC . At this meeting, members set the coalition's strategic direction:
