Crash Responders Safety Week All States Planning
September 23, 1:30 - 3:00 p.m. EDT
Description
The FHWA Traffic Incident Management (TIM) Program is pleased to host the Crash Responders Safety Week (CRSW) All-States Planning Webinar on September 23, 2026, from 1:30 - 3:00 p.m. EDT. This webinar is targeted for communications and public information staff and TIM program managers from every national, state, and local responder community.
During this webinar, the FHWA TIM team will debut the 2026 CRSW theme and spotlight proven strategies that responder associations and governmental organizations can leverage to achieve our common goal and responsibility for safe, quick roadway clearance. The webinar will feature Wisconsin DOT’s successful initiatives for promoting CRSW, as well as an exercise in collaboration to better promote CRSW in 2026.
Every few seconds, a traffic incident responder puts his or her life on the line to aid crash victims and to safely and quickly clear crashes, as well as other traffic incidents that could otherwise result in a secondary crash. Every year traffic incident responders are killed in the line of duty or bear life-long scars from life-altering injuries.
CRSW affords a unique opportunity for every TIM community member to make a difference individually and jointly for roadway safety during traffic incidents. Traffic incident response is a collaborative effort engaging EMS, law enforcement, fire and rescue, public works, towing and recovery, transportation, and other disciplines. TIM communities across the nation can come together this CRSW, taking place November 2-6, 2026, by teaching each other and all road users about our common goal and responsibility for safe, quick roadway clearance.
You can register now for the November 2 CRSW Kick-Off Call here.
