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.
