TRIP is a recovery incentive program that pays heavy-duty towing and recovery companies a monetary bonus for quickly clearing crashes involving commercial vehicles. The specific objective of TRIP is to reduce the impact of major commercial vehicle incidents while achieving the aggressive lane clearance goal of 90 minutes or less.
The goal for TRIP is to standardize the towing response and facilitate safe and quick clearance of commercial vehicle crashes by improving towing procedures and on scene cooperation and coordination among first responders. The TRIP program potentially reduces the number of secondary crashes by reducing lane clearance times and restoring normal traffic flow.
