Project 8.6
Major Event Operations Coordination Support
The North/West Passage has specific goals associated with coordinating traveler information and operations along I-90/I-94. Several projects have developed tools and guidelines to encourage and support such coordination. During the course of evaluating major event coordination in Projects 6.1 and 7.2 - Corridor Traveler Information Coordination Operational Test, it appeared that the central point of contact provided by the program support consultant was useful in facilitating coordination activities among the states. One of the fundamental elements of a successful incident management program is relationships. Because major events can happen somewhat infrequently along the corridor, relationships among TMC/TOC operations staff are currently somewhat limited.
This project temporarily extended major event coordination with the intent to strengthen the relationships among operations staff in states so that coordination will occur without the need for a central point of contact and organization.
