Travels Tab

The Travels tab contains fields and controls similar to those on the Deadheads tab in the Blocking screen.

Whereas the fields and controls on the Deadheads tab refer to the location and run times of the vehicles, the fields and controls on the Travels tab refer to locations and travel times associated with the operator to and from a run assignment.

The following table explains the columns found on the Travels tab.

Table 1. Travels Options
Option	Description
Fr. Node	The garage or relief point from which an operator begins to travel.
To Node	The garage or relief point to which an operator travels.
Fr.Time	The start of the time range when the travel is valid.
To Time	The end of the time range when the travel is valid.
Paid Time	The amount of time that an operator travels to and from his or her assigned vehicle for which he or she is paid based on the union agreement.
Act (Actual) Times	The amount of time that an operator travels to and from his or her assigned vehicle based on reality. This is also known as feasible travel.
