WAMS account management

Last updated: 2024-05-06

A Wisconsin Web Access Management System (WAMS) ID is required to log into AASHTOWare Project™ and the Vendor Registration System (VRS). Staff may have a WAMS ID for other WisDOT applications like the HCCI Construction Contract Payment Viewing System (CCPVS) and the Transportation Utility Management System (TUMS) or other state agency applications. A user can use the same WAMS ID for any Wisconsin state agency application.

Below are detailed instructions for users to follow to create a new WAMS account if they don't already have one.
