Federal Travel Guide 2002
eing on the road may be boring now and then, but the federal travel management scene is always churning and changing.
This year's buzz was about airlines' promises to passengers, federal air travel contracts with advance purchase discounts, the last-minute rescue of the Defense Travel System, headway in relocation reengineering, a glimmer of hope that federal employees may soon be able to use frequent flier miles for personal travel and much, much more.
Change is hard, even when it's good. But most federal travelers focus on their missions and log their miles undaunted. Travel managers keep their eyes on the prize of making travel more efficient and effective.
In these pages, we shine the spotlight on four agencies that exemplify the best in government business travel. They are the winners of the 2001 Travel Managers of the Year Award: the Veterans Affairs Department, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Naval Supply Systems Command and the Justice Department's Office of Justice Programs.
Finally, we always want to know about your travel experiences, good and bad. Feel free to contact us at ltaylor@govexec.com or Travel Editor, Government Executive, 1501 M St., N.W., Suite 300, Washington, D.C. 20005.
Happy trails!
