Traveling for meetings is expensive- use technology to save money. Sometimes meeting face to face cannot be replaced, but routine business can often be conducted effectively through Skype or phone calls. This can apply to traveling long distances and also to traveling a few miles in town.
Sometimes I call into meetings instead of driving to a different location. This works well for routine meetings when you already know the people involved. You can easily add video cameras, but I usually just go with audio and share slides or spreadsheets from my computer at teleconferences. You can save a lot of time and money if you can find ways to travel less.
