Enhanced Travel Program
We're excited to share that Texas Tech University will soon launch an enhanced travel program in partnership with Collegiate Travel Planners (CTP).
This initiative reflects our continued commitment to providing a more efficient, supported, and transparent travel experience for our campus community. As part of this transition, we will introduce Lightning, a modern online booking tool designed to simplify how you book and manage university travel.
What this means for you:
- A more intuitive booking experience for air, hotel, and car
- Dedicated travel support before, during, and after your trip
- Improved visibility to support duty of care and university policy compliance
Over the coming weeks, we will share important updates, including training opportunities and key dates to help you prepare.
We're excited to bring this next evolution of managed travel to Texas Tech and appreciate your partnership in making it a success.
