Objective:
A clear understanding of TRAC for Local and Out of Town Reimbursement
Did you know?
All NYC DOE employees must use TRAC for travel reimbursement. SIPPS will no longer be accepted for travel reimbursement
That a line in Galaxy must be scheduled under “Transportation of Staff” object code 451 before a TRAC can be completed
It takes 3 people to complete one TRAC:
1. Traveler
2. Approver (supervisor, principal and/or Superintendent)
3. FAMIS initiator (procurement secretary, SBM, APO, etc.)
