Federal Travel Regulations and Policies
Federal civilian employees and others authorized to travel at the government’s expense must follow the policies defined in the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR). The FTR includes policies on:
- Temporary duty (TDY) travel allowances
- Relocation allowances
- Payment from a non-federal source for travel
- Personal use of frequent flyer miles earned on official travel
- Travel accommodation of an employee with special needs
Other travel-related policies that apply specifically to federal employees include:
Most agencies have additional requirements that expand on what is included in the FTR. If you're a federal traveler with questions about the FTR or travel reimbursement issues, contact your agency travel manager. If you still have questions, submit them to the General Services Administration.
