Traffic Incident Management

Program Overview

The Traffic Incident Management (TIM) program removes incidents from Colorado's highways and restores normal travel operations as safely and quickly as possible.

CDOT partners with multiple agencies to:

  • Improve responder safety
  • Enhance safe and quick clearance of traffic incidents
  • Support prompt, reliable and interoperable communications
  • Reduce secondary incidents
  • Support economic vitality by minimizing delay

CDOT Safety Patrol Sponsored by GEICO

The CDOT Safety Patrol sponsored by GEICO provides limited roadside assistance at no charge to drivers needing fuel, flat-tire changes, assistance moving vehicles to the shoulder and much, much more.
