To: Agency Travel Coordinators

From: Michael M. Hoffman, Chairman

Date: July 3, 2017

Subject: FY18 Travel Guide for State Employees

The Fiscal Year 2018 Travel Guide for State Employees is now available on the internet at: https://www.illinois.gov/cms/Employees/travel/Pages/default.aspx.

The Travel Guide contains information regarding travel by State employees. The Guide also contains the Fiscal Year 2018 Preferred Hotel Listing, a comprehensive guide to hotels that offer State employees quality accommodations at a discounted rate. The Preferred Hotel Listing is designed to assist travelers in locating hotels and identifying services to fit their specific needs. Employees are required to contact preferred hotels first when seeking overnight accommodations. The rates listed in the Preferred Hotel Listing are valid for travel on or after July 1, 2017, and will remain in effect through June 30, 2018, although rates may be based on availability.

As the appointed Travel Coordinator for your agency, it is your responsibility to disseminate this information to all appropriate personnel within your agency. If you have questions, please contact Kelley Wells, State Travel Coordinator at (217) 782-4705 or by email at Kelley.Wells@illinois.gov.
