Introduction

 

 

The Traveler's Aid is your guide to assure that you are in compliance with the travel rules and regulations of UTSA and the State of Texas. It is the responsibility of the traveler to follow these rules and regulations to the best of your ability while traveling on University business. Failure to be aware and comply with these rules and regulations may result in non-reimbursement of travel expenses.

The rules and regulations covering travel reimbursement are from several sources. The University of Texas at San Antonio is governed by the State of Texas Travel Regulations Act, the General Appropriations Act, by Rules & Regulations of the Board of Regents, and by official interpretations of the Travel Act as made by the State Comptroller of Public Accounts. For more information regarding the Comptrollers Travel Allowance Guide (TAG) please refer to this website:

Safe and Efficient Travel

Travel continues to become more complex due to industry and world events. The following are recommendations to assist with safe and efficient travel, however for the most current information regarding safe and efficient travel, please refer to the website of the Transportation Security Administration, http://www.tsa.gov/.

  

  • Make business travel reservations via a U. T. authorized travel agency or U. T. online booking tool. Travel booked through airline or other vendor Web sites can be difficult to access during emergency situations and our agencies can not provide assistance with these reservations.
  • Provide a coworker with both business and after hours telephone numbers.
  • Allow extra time for all aspects of travel from ground transportation to airport security check-in.
  • If you change your travel plans while on the road, notify a coworker of the revised schedule.
  • Be aware of your surroundings and stay current on world events.
  • International travel requires special precautions. Please contract the UTSA Travel Management Office for information regarding International SOS Assistance or refer to information under Foreign Travel on this website.
