§ 101-41.207-1 - Use of GTR's.

GTR's shall be issued and used only for officially authorized travel for the account of the United States GTR's shall not be issued or used to obtain transportation services or privileges personally desired but not required for official business, such as extra-fare trains or planes, stopovers, and indirect routings which increase or exceed the cost of the authorized transportation or service. When a service other than that authorized is requested by the traveler, the carrier shall collect the additional cost thereof, including the Federal transportation tax, from the traveler at the time the GTR is exchanged for tickets. GTR's shall not be issued to obtain official passenger transportation services costing $10 or less, exclusive of Federal transportation tax, or air excess baggage services costing $15 or less for each leg of a trip, unless special circumstances justify the issuance of a GTR.

(a) Stopovers. Travelers required to make stops to conduct official business generally shall use only one GTR to procure a through ticket providing stopover privileges. Each stopover shall be specifically identified on the GTR.

(b) Taxicab, intracity, transit services, toll charges, etc. GTR's shall not be used for individually procured taxicab, airport limousine, intracity transit, or so-called drive-yourself type or other for-hire automobile services nor for payment of toll road or toll bridge charges.
