TIM Executive Leadership Group

TIM  > Leadership

The TIM Executive Leadership Group (TIM ELG) was convened as a recommendation from the  First Senior Executive Transportation and Public Safety Summit in June 2012 and currently includes the 15 member organizations. By exercising the TIM ELG spheres of influence, member agencies have championed recommendations from the first 2012 Summit, and a second 2015 Summit, making significant advances through:

  • Responder training
  • Performance measure-based program management
  • Focus on policy and responder outreach
  • Broader public awareness

The TIM ELG member organizations, through strong consensus, convened the Third Senior Executive Transportation and Public Safety Summit on November 14-15, 2019. This third Summit charted the path for broader adoption of TIM practices and training for State, regional, and local responder communities. Member associations meet quarterly to advance the eight recommendations defined through the third Senior Executive Transportation and Public Safety Summit:

  1. Recommit to the goal of one million responders trained.
  2. Engage elected officials on the importance of TIM.
  3. Make local agencies aware of and understand the value of TIM.
  4. Nurture relationships that will help change driver behavior towards TIM.
  5. Refresh and refine the strategies and objects associated with the TIM National Unified Goal.
  6. Make routine the collection of consistent data and sharing TIM performance measures.
  7. Share best practices related to new technologies, tools, and techniques.
  8. Fund TIM research and demonstration.
