Maryland State Highway Administration
Contract Tracking System (CTS) is a Web-based application that was designed and developed by RAM Consulting Corporation for Maryland SHA as a part of the IDS Initiative. Its purpose was to quicken the movement of A/E contract data from contract initiation, contract advertisement, contract award, task assignment, and the invoice receipt through project completion. After the IDS contract term was over in 2009, SHA decided to undertake the maintenance and upkeep of the software internally. Government budget cuts have prevented Maryland SHA from moving forward with anothe renewal term on its IDS contract.
