All travelers use available Gov't housing/lodging
It is already paid and may be vacant at times of travel needs; i.e. military base lodging or quarters (HUD apartments aren't furnished per comment). It could be mandated in policy to be made available and searched via web by every agency. It would come save millions in travel costs to every agency while utilizing available space.

Efficient Travel
End the use of non-efficient contactors such as Fed travel who charge fees for every change made to any reservation and often book travelrs in the wrong class of service. The same government rates are available directly through the airline and the airlines do not charge additional fees when making the majority of changes to government fares.

Airline tickets
Allow employees to purchase airplane tickets the same way a private individual would. Government contract fares for employees not in major cities are almost always at least 2-3 times the cost of regular tickets. The argument is that government tickets are refundable, but I could cancel 3 trips for the cost of most of my tickets.
