The galactic center teems with transient phenomena at all wavelengths. The ATA Galactic Center Transient Survey (AGCTS) started in May 2009 and is currently observing 20 square degrees of sky for 6 hours every night commensally with SETI observations. The AGCTS will collect 6 months of data operating simultaneously at two frequencies, generating a powerful dataset with spectral index information and uniform temporal coverage and observational parameters. We expect to attain a sensitivity of 1 mJy/bm per hour-long integration and either detect significant numbers of transient events or establish robust upper limits on event rates. We present our observing and analysis techniques as well as preliminary results.
