Surface Transportation Security. Volume 6. Guide for Emergency Transportation Operations

S. Lockwood / J. O'Laughlin / D. Keever / K. Weiss

This guide is designed to support the development of a formal program for the improved management of traffic incidents, natural disasters, security events, and other emergencies on the highway system. It outlines a coordinated, performance-oriented, all-hazard approach called emergency transportation operations or ETO. The concept of this guidance has grown out of discussion within the National Transportation Incident Management Coalition, which brings together the combined perspectives of the transportation and public safety communities. The guidance focuses on an enhanced role for state departments of transportation (DOTs) as participants with the public safety community in an interagency process. The recommendations focus on the context of the upper-level roadway system, but are also applicable to larger local government jurisdictions. This guide is intended for senior managers/policy makers and for agency program managers.
