Travel Card Basics

TTUHSC employees who are expected to travel for official TTUHSC business must apply for a state-issued, US Bank travel card. Employees must understand HSC OP 79.11, Use of State Travel Credit Card, understand and sign the Travel Card Use Agreement Form, obtain supervisory approval, and submit the form to the TTUHSC Travel Office. TTUHSC Travel Card policies are based on the Texas Administrative Code, Title 34, Part 1, Chapter 20, Subchapter F, Rule 20.308.

• The travel card can only be used for TTUHSC business-related travel and is not for personal use. Misuse of the card may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.

• The employee is responsible for paying all charges resulting from the use of the travel card. TTUHSC is not responsible for charges for nonpayment by the employee.

• US Bank will suspend or cancel the travel card if balances are not paid in a timely manner.

• The TTUHSC Travel Office will close the travel card for misuse and will notify both the employee and their supervisor.

• If the travel card is suspended or canceled for misuse or nonpayment, the employee is not eligible for travel advances or use of the corporate BTA card.

• If the employee terminates employment with TTUHSC, the department has the obligation to reclaim the travel card, destroy the card, and notify the TTUHSC Travel Office.

• TTUHSC reserves the right to interpret, change, modify, amend, or rescind the Travel Card policy in whole or in part, at any time without prior notice or the consent of the employee.
