If you are a customer considering TMSS 2.0, GSA will work with you to perform an assessment of your agency's current transportation program and processes. If no integration is required, onboarding is a fairly quick and simple process and will primarily include user profile set-up and training. If integration is required, GSA, and your agency, will jointly determine the level of effort and a timeline for integration.
