Travel project update

February 28, 2018

University Relations

The "travel project" is a comprehensive reexamination and streamlining of UA’s travel program to make them more user friendly, improve travel reporting capability, and allow access to airfare, lodging and transportation discounts.

The project includes three cross-university work teams: Implementation Group, Focus Group and Oversight Group. The Implementation Group has been learning configuration capabilities for UA’s new Concur travel system and vetting recommendations on how to configure Concur for the university. An in-depth review, restructure and rewrite of UA travel regulations are in progress to address issues and streamline the travel process. Collaborative meetings are being held with the travel project groups to review draft regulation and process change recommendations.
