eTravel Initiative

The eTravel initiative was launched as a result of the President’s Management Agenda, Quicksilver Task Force, President’s Management Council, and the E-Government Act of 2002, and is managed by the General Services Administration (GSA). It is one of the original 24 e-Government initiatives. The Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) will also mandate the Department implements an eTravel product (also known as eTS: eTravel Service).

The eTravel vision is to deliver a unified, simplified service providing a cost-effective travel experience, supports excellent management, and results in superior customer satisfaction. As a collaborative, inter-agency initiative, the purpose of eTravel is to realize the efficiencies, cost-savings and increased service associated with a common, automated and integrated approach to managing the federal government’s travel function. The E-Travel initiative aims to automate and consolidate travel processes for people traveling on official government business. The new systems are expected to simplify all portions of the process, including planning, reimbursement and reconciliation, and will give managers up-to-the-minute access to their travel budget obligations, as well as will allow travelers to split their reimbursements and send money directly to travel card vendors.

The Executive Sponsor for the eTravel Initiative is Fred Fanning, Director, Office of Administrative Services. The Department’s eTravel Program Manager is Tamara Peyton, Chief, Travel Management Division
