ATTACHMENT B - Travel Authorization Request.pdf

This document is a Travel Authorization Request template used for obtaining approval of employee travel before departure. The form captures essential information about the traveler, including requestor name, organization, and position title, along with specific travel details such as travel dates, origin and destination locations, and the purpose of the trip. The template requires documentation of the associated task, subtask, and/or deliverable that justifies the travel, as well as the trip duration excluding travel days.

The form includes a cost estimation section requiring itemization of anticipated expenses across four categories: transportation, lodging, per diem, and other miscellaneous costs, with a total line for aggregate expenses. The authorization section requires an approving official's name, signature, and explicit approval determination (Yes or No), along with space for comments. This template serves as an internal control mechanism to ensure all travel is business-justified, properly budgeted, and authorized before employees incur travel expenses.
