Background
The TxDOT Traffic Safety Electronic Grants Management System
(eGrants) electronically houses the official records of the administration
of Traffic Safety Division - Behavioral Traffic Safety Section (TRF-BTS)
funds. These files document that proper management and accounting
methods were used to allocate and disburse public funds to an approved
project. The proper and careful management of these files and the
documents they contain helps to ensure that:
- The project is established and the subgrantee is selected in a competitive, equitable, and legal manner.
- Appropriate management of the project occurs during implementation, including proper disbursement of funds for approved and incurred costs.
- The project is adequately monitored and evaluated to ensure the effective use of funds.
- Documents are readily available to state and federal auditors, reviewers, and managers to verify completed work, legitimate expenditures, and adequate oversight.
