In 2008 the In-TIME initiative was implemented and in 2009 the Indiana Quick Clearance Working Group was changed to IN-TIME (Indiana Traffic Incident Management Effort). (More Description)

The purpose of the INdiana-Traffic Incident Management Effort (IN-TIME) is to have first responders, from all disciplines follow agreed upon multi-lateral policies and procedures focusing on an “Open Roads Philosophy”. The Open Roads Philosophy is “Having all First Responders, after ensuring their own personal safety and the safety and security of any incident victims, to have as their top priority reducing congestion and the increased risks of secondary incidents for public/motorist safety”. The IN-TIME group also works to provide a common framework for development of traffic incident management (TIM) policies and training programs for the various responder disciplines. TIM is a planned and coordinated program process to detect, respond to, and remove traffic incidents and restore traffic capacity as safety and quickly as possible.
In 2013 the Northeastern Indiana Regional Coordinating Council (NIRCC) assisted in forming a committee of local representatives to implement Traffic Incident Management (TIM) strategies in Northeast Indiana called the Northeast Indiana Traffic Incident Management Committee (NE IN TIM). NIRCC identified local public and private sector stakeholders that were interested in the concepts and fundamental mission of the initiative. The purpose of the committee is to develop and recommend policy and operational protocols for the safe and efficient mitigation of traffic incidents through training and education of all first responders. The committee is currently comprised of 41 representatives from multiple disciplines that include both public and private agencies.
