Who primarily runs reports in DTS?

In the context of DTS, which stands for Defense Travel System, reports are primarily generated and run by ODTA’s (Organizational Defense Travel Administrators) and LDTA’s (Local Defense Travel Administrators). These roles are crucial within the DTS framework, as they are responsible for the management and oversight of travel arrangements within their respective organizations.

ODTAs and LDTAs are trained personnel who ensure compliance with travel policies, manage travel requests, monitor travel expenditures, and facilitate the overall travel process for service members and associated personnel. Their authority and training allow them to extract insights from travel data, generate reports to analyze travel patterns, costs, and compliance, which are essential for effective travel management and budgeting within the Department of Defense.

While travelers themselves may have access to their own travel itineraries and limited reporting functions related to their specific trips, they do not typically produce broader reports that involve organizational travel data. The Department of Defense oversees the DTS as a whole but does not directly run reports at the individual or organizational level like the ODTAs and LDTAs do.
