Partners

The Kansas and Missouri Departments of Transportation have been working with first responders for more than two years as a part of Kansas City Scout's Traffic Incident Management (TIM) Program. However, on July 23, 2009 the partnerships were further solidified when first responders from more than 50 KC Metro fire, law enforcement, towing and recovery, media, motorist assist, and other agencies signed a new One Accord Agreement.

The agreement is a resolution that unifies the agencies with KC Scout in TIM for the Kansas City Metropolitan Area. Working together through the program, and using KC Scout's system of cameras and message boards, has helped agencies cut the time necessary to clear an incident by two and a half hours.
