Standard Mileage Allowance
The University reimburses employees for local business transportation expenses using the standard mileage allowance. The standard mileage rate generally changes on January 1 of each year. Business miles driven between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2017, will be reimbursed at 53.5 cents per mile. Adequate accounting for business miles requires the employee to substantiate the time, place (or use) and business purpose of the travel. Local transportation includes travel from one job to another, from one customer to another, and from the individual’s office in order to perform business tasks. Commuting expenses between an employee’s residence and a business location are not reimbursable. The mileage allowance rate is determined by the IRS and is meant to cover gas, use of the vehicle, wear and tear on the vehicle, insurance, and maintenance. As a result, these items are not reimbursable.

1. Record starting and ending destination and total miles traveled.
2. Document (at the time of expenditure) the date and the business purpose of travel.
