Fwd: Travel initiative 2018

[Winer, Brian]

  Dear all,

    Please see below the announcement of the new travel requirements.  These had been hinted at for about 6 months.  It appears it has now arrived (July 1 start) with very little notice. Please be aware that you may need to adjust past practices for booking flights and rental cars.

   Brian

Travel initiative prepares for launch
[cid:b394f35e-41ae-4e9e-9db0-e8923df6d44b at osu.edu]
Ohio State Travel Office
After a successful pilot, Ohio State is preparing to implement a new requirement related to university travel. Starting July 1, all business-related flights and car rentals must be booked through Ohio State’s travel partners.

This initiative is one of three “quick wins” designed to maximize use of university contracts to improve operational efficiency and service to the Ohio State community.

Universal use of our travel partners will have both immediate and long-term benefits that support the Operational Excellence and Resource Stewardship pillar of the strategic plan. Benefits include:

•  Discounted rates: Our negotiated discounts for flights and vehicle rentals can provide immediate savings, and these will only grow as more university travelers make use of our contracts.
•  Assistance to travelers: The university can provide more support when our travelers are affected by emergencies. This duty of care is essential.
•  Partnership opportunities: By better harnessing our buying power, the university can negotiate additional benefits for travelers and revenue opportunities (funding for scholarships, student assistance, research, etc.) to support the university’s mission.
The Ohio State Travel Office website<https://busfin.osu.edu/buy-schedule-travel/travel> contains detailed information and resources about university travel.


*****Please look at the attached PowerPoint for more detailed information.*****
