The Federal Meeting Facilities site was designed by GSA’s Office of Government-wide Policy to collect and display Federal meeting space nationwide. To comply with Executive Order (EO) 13589, Promoting Efficient Spending, GSA’s Office of Government-wide Policy developed a Federal Meeting Facilities Tool designed to collect and display Federal meeting space nationwide. This web-based tool allows Federal agencies to maximize the shared use of Federal facilities. Federal agencies provide this information to ensure accuracy of data. GSA is available to work very closely with each agency to help agency representatives populate this tool. Don’t see your meeting space? – contact Pathina.Fitzgerald@gsa.gov and she will provide access to enter your meeting space in the web-based tool. Let us know what you think of this new tool!

Our OGP Office of Travel and Transportation launched a mobile app this week for the GSA Per Diem Travel rates. Congratulations to Jill Denning and team from the Office Travel and Transportation Office for their innovation and response to the mobile needs of their customers! The app was developed in collaboration with GSA’s Chief Information Officer and Enterprise Web Management teams. This is OGP’s second mobile phone app, the first being the Sustainable Facilities Tool from our Federal High Performance Green Buildings Office.
To reach the growing number of federal employees and people across the country who have come to rely on their mobile devices for information they can access anytime, anywhere, GSA’s OGP developed a mobile phone application to look up the per diem lodging, meals, and incidentals reimbursement rates that GSA sets each year. Having another tool that millions of people can use to access these rates increases the transparency of GSA’s information to the public. GSA OGP chose to create the per diem application as the per diem rates are among the most frequently accessed pages on GSA’s website (estimated at 58%).
The new app allows travelers to look up per diem reimbursement rates for lodging, meals, and incidentals by location or ZIP code. Travelers can look up rates for the Federal government fiscal years 2010 and 2011, with 2012 rates available later this summer. Visit GSA at http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/302273 for more information and download the new app today!
