German term or phrase: Reglement

Reglement Reiseordnung und Spesenentschädigung

This is the title of a document written by a Swiss company. Other docs I'm also working on from the same client are:
Reglement Dienstwagen
Reglement Pauschalspesen

I have translated these as "Company car regulation" and "Expense allowance regulation" respectively. However, when it comes to "Reglement Reiseordnung und Spesenentschädigung", I'm having difficulty with the combination of "Reglement" and "Reiseordnung". I would have thought that "Reiseordnung" was travel policy. But a "Travel policy and reimbursement of expenses regulation" sounds a bit daft. "Reglement Reiseordnung" just sounds doppelt gemoppelt to me. That said, I want to keep it consistent with the titles of the other docs mentioned above. What does anyone think?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Explanation:
"rules and regulations governing travel policy and reimbursement of (other) expenses"

You don't have to use "rules and regulations" together but it is often done that way

Example from link below:
"Office of Planning and Budget, is authorized to adopt rules and regulations governing travel policy for official state business."
