The Transit Award Management System (TrAMS): FTA’s Next Generation of TEAM

Welcome to the Transit Award Management System (TrAMS), FTA’s platform to award and manage federal grants. TrAMS was created to provide greater efficiency and improved transparency and accountability and replaces the TEAM platform.

New 60-day Inactivity Lockout Requirement

FTA is implementing a new security feature to the platform that houses both TrAMS and the National Transit Database (NTD). The security feature will lock out users from using the system functions if inactive for 60 days. If locked out, you will still be able to log on to TrAMS and NTD, however you will no longer have any functions available. The lockout feature will be effective January 26, 2017.

Users of TrAMS (and NTD) are required to complete a series of Security Questions. This only needs to be done once in either TrAMS or NTD if you have access to both systems. The security questions will allow you to unlock your account, should you get locked out. Additionally, there will be a function in the system to request your User Manager to unlock your account without having to contact the help desk or your FTA point of contact. The security questions module is available now for you to complete your security questions. These documents further explain the security requirement and how to complete your security questions:
