Gaining Access to the eGrants System

Proposals must be completed online through the eGrants system, which is available on the TxDOT website at:
https://www.txdot.gov/apps/egrants/
.
Eligible organizations (state and local government agencies, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations) can request access to the eGrants system by creating a new user account.
If you belong to an organization that already has an eGrants account, please contact your Subgrantee Administrator for access to the system.
The steps to create a new user account are outlined below.
  1. From the eGrants Login Page, select the “New User” link in the “Login” section.
  2. Complete the user form in its entirety.
    1. Fill in all required information. All items marked with an asterisk (*) are required to create an account.
    2. The
      Username
       field must consist of all letters and numbers.
    3. The
      Password
       field must consist of all letters and numbers and must be seven characters in length.
    4. The
      Password
       and
      Confirm Password
       fields must be the same.
  3. Select “Save” to save the data.
After the account information is saved, the account must be approved by a TxDOT System Administrator before access to the system will be granted. When access is granted, an e-mail is sent to the subgrantee confirming that the account has been validated.
Title 1, Chapter 202 of the Texas Administrative Code states that measures should be taken by state agencies to protect information systems against unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or destruction. In order to comply with this section, TRF-BTS will:
  • Review, on a biannual basis, all TxDOT eGrants users and deactivate any user that does not have a further need for access.
  • Activate new TxDOT users (non TRF-BTS staff or subgrantees or other agency users, e.g. non-TxDOT auditors), by assigning a time frame of one month upon activation. After one month, these users cannot access eGrants, as they will automatically be deactivated. The users can contact TRF-BTS to request another one-month activation period.
  • Provide biannual notifications to all subgrantee administrators that they will review all staff with access and revoke any user that no longer should have access to eGrants.
