Traffic Incident Management Training

  • All drivers are required to have the Traffic Incident Management (TIM) certification in order to become an approved wrecker driver. A copy must be submitted to DPS.

  • Oklahoma Traffic Incident Management Coalition (website: www.oktim.org) – TIM consists of a planned and coordinated multidisciplinary 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. **NEW** Now offering online TIM course.

  • Another on-line course available is through the National Highway Institute. (website: www.nhi.fhwa.dot.gov)

TIMS Certificates should be mailed or emailed (wrecker@dps.ok.gov) to DPS to receive training credit.
