Paying for a Field Trip & Bus
Information about paying for a field trip and bus with non-activity funds.
Steps For Paying For A Field Trip
Step 1 – Schedule the Trip
- Call the field trip location and schedule your field trip. Be sure to ask for any necessary information such as a reservation confirmation number and a quote for the cost.
- Call the Bus Company to reserve your bus for the Field Trip. Visit the APS Transportation Bus Contractors webpage for bus vendors.
Step 2 – If you pay by P-Card
Will you be paying for the field trip with a P-Card?
- If yes, send the Executive Director of Procurement an e-mail to request approval to use the P-Card for your Field Trip.
- Ensure the staff member going on the field trip has the P-Card on the day of the event.
- If no, proceed to Step 3
Step 3 – If you pay by Purchase Order
Will you be paying for your field trip and bus service with a Purchase Order?
- If yes, follow the regular process for entering a requisition. You must have a quote.
- We recommend that you enter the requisition at least 2 months in advance to ensure there is enough processing time and availability for your field trip location and bus service.
