Trips FAQ

LegiStorm's congressional travel database provides details on 29,125 privately financed trips costing $62.1 million taken by members of Congress and their staff since the beginning of 2000.

  • Who has accepted free travel
  • Where they went and the purpose of the trip
  • How much was spent on transportation, lodging, meals and other expenses
  • And what private organization paid for it all
