The Challenge: A Complex, Manual Reporting Process 

Before implementing TransTrack’s NTD Reporting software, the Broward County Transportation Department faced a daunting annual task: compiling year-end expenses and revenue across seven different fund accounts.  

Each financial report required meticulous filtering, pivot tables, and data aggregation from multiple spreadsheets. This process was both time-consuming and error-prone. 

Key challenges included: 

• Fragmented data sources across departments, with no standardized collection method. 
• Manual data entry which increased the risk of errors and required frequent revisions. 
• Inconsistent account coding year over year, complicating historical tracking. 
• Limited training and resources, making the process even more difficult. 
• Siloed information, with each section of the report requiring data that was hard to access. 

The result? A reporting cycle that took over a month to complete, with staff overwhelmed by revisions and reconciliation. 

The Solution: Automation and Clarity with TransTrack 

With the implementation of TransTrack’s NTD Reporting software, Broward County saw an immediate transformation. Automation streamlined the entire reporting cycle, reducing complexity and enhancing efficiency. 

Key improvements: 

• Reporting time reduced significantly, from over a month to just a few days.
• Monthly data maintenance and reconciliation eased the year-end burden. 
• Finance module features helped organize data into KPIs and supported cost allocation. 
• Staff time freed up, allowing focus on analytics and strategic tasks. 
• Improved readiness to respond to NTD analyst inquiries. 

The result? A shift from reactive, manual reporting to a proactive, streamlined process. 

“TransTrack has reduced our NTD process from months to just weeks, and we don't see ourselves going back.” — Joseph Poulard, Senior Program Project Coordinator, Broward County Transportation Department 

The Results: Confidence, Accuracy, and Speed 

The Broward team reported tangible benefits, including: 

• Significant time savings: Cut reporting from 45+ days to 14  — that’s a 70% time savings.
• Reduction in errors: Automation minimized manual entry and revisions. 
• Simplified external audit processes: Easier access to organized, reliable data sped up auditor reviews. 
• Elimination of data silos: Giving teams a single, trusted source of truth. 

Most importantly, the team gained confidence and peace of mind knowing reports were accurate and audit-ready. 

Key Takeaway: A Use-Case for Efficiency and Impact 

By transforming a complex, manual reporting cycle into an automated, streamlined process, Broward gained efficiency, accuracy, and confidence in its NTD reporting. With less time spent wrangling spreadsheets, staff can now focus on high-value analysis and decision-making, while auditors and NTD analysts benefit from cleaner, more reliable data.
