The Government Travel Charge Card Program (GTCC) provides travelers with a safe, effective, convenient, and commercially available method to pay for expenses associated with official travel. The GTCC includes Individually Billed Accounts (IBAs) and Centrally Billed Accounts (CBAs).

The DoD policy is that the Government-sponsored, contractor-issued travel card should be used to pay for ALL official travel expenses while on TDY/TAD. Personal use of the travel card or using the travel card to pay for someone else's travel expenses is prohibited. The use of the travel card for non-official expenses may result in disciplinary actions.

GTCC accounts are gained during in-processing.  If you have not already completed in-processing with the NPS Travel Office, please complete it here.

Split Disbursement is a method used to assist cardholders with timely payment of their travel card account. It is mandatory for all DoD travelers. When preparing your voucher, you need to review the split disbursement amounts and ensure enough money is being disbursed to completely pay off all GTCC charges. If not, and if you use DTS, you need to manually change the amount going to the vendor.
