Full text
In selecting a particular method of transportation agencies must consider the following:
(a) The total cost to the Government, including per diem, overtime, lost worktime, actual transportation cost, total distance of travel, number of points visited, and the number of travelers, and any other relevant costs (see 5 U.S.C. 5733).
(b) A determination that another method of transportation is more advantageous to the Government will not be made on the basis of personal preference or inconvenience to the traveler.
(c) When authorizing use of a privately owned vehicle (POV), agencies are reminded that they cannot mandate employees to use their POV for official reasons; the employee must agree to it.
