and utilize the "Driving Directions" section of their

Note for Out of State
destinations:
Please review
the travel policy section outlined below before your trip to properly determine
the mileage reimbursement amount allowed in lieu of airfare.
The University authorizes
reimbursement for transportation by private automobile only when:
- Common air carrier services
are not available without undue loss of time.
- Two or more persons are
eligible for similar authorized travel and their riding together would mean
a savings to the University.
- Vehicle usage is to transport
equipment or save time, thus enabling the traveler to perform duties more
effectively.
- It will cost the University
no more than the most reasonable airfare on an air common carrier.
- It will not require the
traveler to be away from duties for a substantially longer period than travel
by common air carrier.
Travelers driving privately owned vehicles on approved University
business who qualify under the above guidelines are eligible for
mileage reimbursement at the current rate. Travel Management Services
will calculate mileage between cities based on official state
highway maps showing the shortest, most widely traveled route
between cities.
Personnel who have permanently
assigned University vehicles (the President, athletic coaches, etc.) and who
have the responsibility to provide fuel for the vehicles will receive $0.10
per mile for business purpose mileage.
The above reimbursement
rates cover all fuel, maintenance, insurance, transportation, and operating
costs. Travelers do not receive separate reimbursement for fuel costs for private
automobiles. Damage to personal automobiles used on University business is covered
by private insurance. The University does not assume liability or responsibility
for deductibles or other uninsured loss to the vehicle or its occupants (see
Insurance below).
The University will reimburse
tolls and reasonable off-airport parking charges in addition to the mileage
allowance if the traveler provides complete receipts with the Travel Reimbursement
Request. There is no reimbursement for the cost of repairs, towing charges,
or other such costs whether they result from the traveler's acts or the actions
of others. Tickets for parking and moving violations are the responsibility
of the traveler and are not reimbursable.
Whenever the usage of a
personal automobile for approved University travel is primarily for the convenience
of the traveler, reimbursement will not exceed the lesser of the cost of the
per-mile reimbursement plus tolls or the most reasonable round-trip airfare
between the nearest commercial airport serving the origin and destination cities
plus associated transfer costs to and from airports and parking. The traveler
does not receive reimbursement for extra expenses, such as meals and lodging,
INCURRED BECAUSE OF PERSONAL AUTOMOBILE USAGE when commercial airline transportation
is less expensive. To determine the amount to be reimbursed, travelers should
contact Travel Management Services IN ADVANCE OF THE TRIP to have the airfare
to mileage comparison calculated and approved.
