What is TRACS? TRACS is the tracking and reporting system used by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program (WSFR) to capture conservation and related actions funded by its grant programs. TRACS is administered by the Program and Accomplishment Reporting (PAR) Branch.

TRACS 2017 System Enhancement will address: technical debt (i. e. , how far removed software components are from the most current version or technology), and Outcomes Tracking and Reporting TRACS 2017 will add standardized objectives that users can select from that best characterize the goals and objectives of their projects. Standardized objectives will allow TRACS to easily roll-up and report on project and program accomplishments. The core functions of the TRACS system will not change; nor will the benefits of current TRACS training.
Next Steps October 1, 2016 deadline for TRACS to be fully implemented at the State level. Get a head start by identifying TRACS users and planning the implementation and training schedule.
