Government Travel Transparency Act

This bill would require the Comptroller General, who leads the Government Accountability Office (GAO), to report to Congress on how certain top federal officials use government-owned or government-operated aircraft. The first report would be due within 30 days of the law taking effect, with new reports every three months after that, and each would be posted on the GAO website. The reports would list each flight taken for a federal election or political activity and whether the government was paid back, plus each personal trip where another way of traveling would have cost less. The officials covered include the President, Vice President, Cabinet secretaries, and several agency heads. The reports would use General Services Administration travel data and could not show where an official was at a specific time.
