But what none of the public sites can do is manage the JLab travel program. Only travel professionals using branded, managed travel sites from experienced Travel Management Companies can control spending, manage data and reduce security risk for our travelers. Consequently, JLab has contracted with CI Travel for their online travel system, Rearden. With Rearden, you can view and initiate personal, and possibly business flights, hotels and car rentals. Each reservation made in Rearden is reviewed by a live agent to ensure the JLab policy is being met and there are no loopholes in the terms of purchase. Ticket changes, cancellations and re-issues are fast and simple to arrange. JLab uses Rearden exclusively for the purchase of all JLab business-related domestic flights. Speak with Travel Services, x7519, or your department administrator about getting an account on Rearden today.<br><br><b>Add Your Voice to A National Dialog on Improving Federal Websites</b><br>The federal government wants to re-invent how it delivers information and services online, and the .gov Task Force needs your help. Join the conversation with web experts, policymakers and everyday citizens about the practices, policies and principles you think should guide federal websites. Results will directly inform recommendations for a National Web Strategy, developed by the .gov Task Force.
