Reminders

Since Emburse does not accept zero-dollar pre-travel authorization requests, please be sure to email your supervisor that you will be attending the conference (include conference name, date, and time).  

4. TRAVEL PROCEDURES – LOCAL Local travel is any travel that takes place completely within the area inside a 30-mile radius outside of the city limits of San Antonio. Local travel generally does not involve overnight stays outside the traveler’s home.

4.1. Pre-Travel Authorization

4.1.1. Pre-travel authorization is required if total travel expenses, including conference registration fees, are expected to exceed $500. Such authorization is also required if expenses will be incurred for local commercial air transportation and/or hotel lodging (see below for additional guidance).

4.1.2. Pre-travel authorization is not required for other local travel. However, for risk management purposes, pre-travel authorization is strongly encouraged.
