The Central Travel Office assures the University of California saves on travel budgets by negotiating strong contracts with major airlines, hotels, car rental companies, rail, and agency providers. To maximize agreements, we carefully monitor the usage of the system and its success in meeting savings targets while making recommendations on systemwide travel spending. We coordinate the development, implementation, and management of the Travel Program through campus and laboratory participation on the UC Travel Management Council.
