The GSA has previewed its new centralized federal travel service program for agencies that will be rolled out starting in November, to be named GO.gov and that will manage booking, authorization, expenses, and reporting.
“Once live, GO.gov will serve as a single travel management solution for all civilian Federal agencies, providing a more intuitive experience for booking federal travel and better access to commercially available features like charge card integration and a mobile interface,” an announcement said. “GO.gov is a commonsense solution that will relieve agencies of the burden of travel management, helping them be as effective and efficient as possible.”
“For the first time, all civilian agencies jointly agreed on requirements and will onboard onto one shared, standardized common system. GO.gov is the first shared service to handle an entire functional business area to deploy in civilian government,” it said.
