NOW AVAILABLE: FTA Transit Award Management System (TrAMS) Training Videos

FTA invites you to check out the updated TrAMS webpage for all TrAMS related resources and training as well as the first set of videos in a new training series.

New videos include:

TrAMS Beginner Training: This video is an introduction to TrAMS, FTA's web-based grant management tool that allows recipients to apply for federal funds, manage their programs in accordance with federal requirements, and enables FTA to review, approve, control, and oversee how funds are used. This video walks recipients through basic TrAMS navigation, operations, and terminology.

How to Create a TrAMS Application: This video is the framework for submitting new TrAMS applications. The video walks users through the TrAMS pre-award and award workflow by demonstrating each step of the process for creating, submitting, and executing FTA Awards.

TrAMS Period of Performance Update Training: All federal awards are required to include period of performance information. This video walks users through updating an award's period of performance end date using either a budget revision or an amendment.

TrAMS Federal Financial Report Video Guide: FTA recipients are required to submit OMB-required federal financial reports (FFRs) for all active FTA awards in TrAMS. This video demonstrates the process for filling out and submitting the FFR.

How to Create a TrAMS Closeout Amendment: FTA requires recipients close out awards on a timely basis, generally 90-120 days after the end of the "period of performance" of an award. This video demonstrates the process for recipients to submit closeout amendments to close completed awards.
