Mileage Reimbursement

Mileage is reimbursed on the basis of the commonly used route. Reimbursement will not be made for extra miles logged from a roundabout route. Faculty/staff using a personal vehicle must claim mileage and can not claim fuel expenses.

On out-of-state trips when commercial air services can be used advantageously, mileage wll be reimbursed at the price of a coach airline ticket or at the prescribed mileage rate, whichever is less.

Any claims for local transportation must be accumulated and submitted no more frequently than monthly and must include the date, itinerary, purpose and mileage for each individual trips. These trips must originate and end at your work location. This information must be provided on the travel expense worksheet, the mileage worksheet or on a supporting travel log which can be attached.

Travel expenses incurred between a faculty/staff member's home and work location are considered to be commuting expense and will not be reimbursed.

Effective with travel occuring on or after July 1, 2008, all mileage reimbursements for approved travel by personal automobile will be at the rate of fifty-eight and one-half cents ($.585) per mile.
