Crash Responder Safety Week 2026: November 2-6
National Theme: Slow Down, Move Over. Lives are on the Line!
Every few seconds, a traffic incident responder puts their 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.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) began commemorating Crash Responder Safety week (CRSW) in 2016, now annually, it takes place in November. CRSW affords a unique opportunity for every Traffic Incident Management (TIM) community member to make a difference individually and jointly for roadway safety during traffic incidents

Today CRSW is used by national associations, state departments of transportation and departments of public safety, metropolitan planning organizations, and local departments of public works, cities, and individual responders to bring attention to traffic incident responder safety.

11/5 - More Than a Crash (Highway Heroes / Quick Clearance)
