Modes of Transportation. A. The approving official shall determine the mode of transportation which is most advantageous to the Government. In selecting the particular method of transportation to be used, the approving official shall consider the nature and duties of the employee requiring travel, the total cost to the Government, the total distance of travel, the number of points to be visited, and energy conservation. B. If an approving official determines that an automobile is required for travel, a Government- owned or leased automobile shall be used whenever it is reasonably available. The use of POV may be authorized only if it is more advantageous to the Government or for the convenience of the Government. C. When an employee elects to travel by a method of transportation other than that officially approved, reimbursement to the employee shall be limited to the cost on a constructive basis that would have been incurred by the Government for the officially approved mode of transportation or the actual cost incurred by the employee, whichever is the lesser.
