You've probably seen the big white trucks that say Incident Management on them. They patrol the roads along the Wasatch Front (and now St. George) ready to assist. They are UDOT'S "boots on the ground", but Traffic Incident Management (TIM) is much more than just the Incident Management Team. It takes a team of dispatchers, a network of cameras, and coordination with other state and local agencies to Keep Utah Moving. UDOT's Director of Operations Rob Wight joins us to talk about Traffic Incident Management and the process of bringing everyone together to keep our roads safe and traffic moving.
