The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) is a data gathering and research organization based at Syracuse University. Its purpose is to provide comprehensive information about the staffing, spending, and enforcement activities of the federal government to the American people, Congress, news organizations, public interest groups, businesses, scholars, and lawyers.
TRAC uses the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to obtain government records and analyzes the data using sophisticated statistical techniques. Its goal is to develop a comprehensive understanding of what federal enforcement and regulatory agencies are doing, their resources, and the impact of their activities. TRAC's work is supported by foundations, research grants, contracts, individual donations, and user fees.
