Your Path to Efficient Grants Management Starts Here
Congratulations! Your project was selected under one of FTA’s competitive grant programs. Congress has provided your agency with Community Project funding. You’ve received your annual formula suballocation from your Designated Recipient or State Department of Transportation. FTA has published the amount your tribe has been allocated for this fiscal year. Your State highway department has transferred funds to you for a transit project. These investments will, ultimately, provide mobility and access to opportunity for people in your community. However, before projects can become reality, your agency must receive a grant in TrAMS and then be ready to submit reports, modify the award, if necessary, and close out the award in the system.
TrAMS Camp & Consulting is here to help you through the process every step of the way, whether you are a seasoned TrAMS user who would like to learn new tricks of the trade or are brand new to the system, or are helping to get your colleagues up to speed. Our trainings and technical assistance will help you apply and manage your grants with confidence. Empower yourselves and your colleagues, minimize mistakes, and free up your time for other important priorities.
