Non‐Recurring Congestion55%
• Economic Impact The economic impact to Arkansas due to non‐recurring congestion is tens of millions of dollars each year– I‐40 between North Little Rock and West Memphis was evaluated using 2016 data
• One highway construction workzone resulted in a road user cost (RUC) of approximately $400,000
• Two winter weather events resulted in RUC of approximately $200,000
• Top 10 traffic incidents resulted in RUC of approximately $2.1 million (if including crash costs, RUC is approximately $10 million)

• Safety of motoring public: Secondary crashes in Arkansas in 2016– 5 fatal crashes– 15 serious injury crashes– Of these 20 KA crashes:
• 18 (90%) were on a freeway• 16 (80%) occurred during daylight• 15 (75%) were rear‐end collisions• 11 (55%) occurred in a rural area• 6 (30%) involved a truck• 3 (15%) were on wet pavement• 2 (10%) were work zone related

How Are We Implementing TSMO?
18
• What is Traffic Incident Management (TIM)
A planned and coordinated multi‐disciplinary process to detect, respond to, and clear traffic incidents so that traffic flow may be restored as safely and quickly as possible. Effective TIM reduces the duration and impacts of traffic incidents and improves the safety of motorists, crash victims, and emergency responders.

Importance of TIM
20
• What has been done to address TIM in Arkansas?– FHWA Workshop and Executive Briefing Nov. 2016– Five Primary Action Items were recommended:
1. Establish TIM committee2. Establish small working group to increase TIM training3. Integrate TIM into Strategic Highway Safety Plan4. Improve TIM performance measure data collection
and tracking capabilities5. Develop TIM law public outreach and education plan
TIM Efforts in Arkansas
21
1. (A) Established TIM Working Committee– Meets quarterly– It is a multi‐agency, multi‐jurisdictional stakeholder group made of up TIM responders and DOT staff
– Purpose is to discuss TIM issues and make recommendations to Executive Committee
– ARDOT (including AHP) is lead agency
TIM Accomplishments

(B) Established TIM Executive Committee– Meets annually– Similar to Working Committee but made up of administration

2. TIM training– FHWA TIM Train‐the‐Trainer session held in March 2017– Established central point of contact to track and coordinate TIM training efforts (Eddie Tanner, ArDOT Section Head of Workforce Development)
– ARDOT/AHP & ASP has conducted numerous TIM training sessions
– TIM training requirements• ARDOT / AHP• ASP• Fire and EMS• Tow Operators – ATRB

3. Integrate TIM into Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP)– SHSP is required by FHWA as part of the Highway Safety
Improvement Program (HSIP)– Most recent SHSP was adopted by the Arkansas Highway
Commission and approved by FHWA in July 2017
TIM Accomplishments
26
– SHSP is a data‐driven, multi‐disciplinary plan that establishes statewide goals and objectives to address safety and move Toward Zero Deaths
– TIM is included as an Emphasis Area in the SHSP
4. Improve TIM performance measure data collection and tracking capabilities
– Roadway Clearance Time – Time between first record of incident and when all lanes open to traffic ACTIS
– Incident Clearance Time – Time between first record of incident and when last responder has left the scene
– Secondary Crash – Crash that occurs within the incident scene or within the queue or backup, including the opposite direction, resulting from an original incident eCrash

5. Develop TIM law public outreach and education plan– ASP will update the Arkansas Driver License Study Guide to reflect recent changes in law
TIM Accomplishments
30
– ARDOT is producing educational flyers for MOVE IT and MOVE OVER laws
• More TIM Training• More timely and accurate traveler information regarding incidents
• TIM Education and Resources– MOVE OVER and MOVE IT Laws – Flyers– Quarterly Report– Social Media
• TIM Related Legislation– Qualified Operators for Non‐Consent Towing– AUTHORITY REMOVAL or QUICK CLEARANCE Law
• Hold Harmless Clause to protect responders from liability
