Mileage Rate Change

The Comptroller�s Office has changed the maximum mileage reimbursement rate effective July 1, 2011 from $0.51/mile to $0.555/mile. The new rate is consistent with the rate recently adopted by the Internal Revenue Service.

The Mileage Report that may be used to document reimbursable mileage has been updated and is located on the AP travel website.

Non-overnight transportation (account 54807), which includes non-overnight mileage, parking, and tolls, may be reimbursed on local funds only and up to 12 months after it is occurred. All other reimbursement requests must be submitted to the department for processing by the employee within 60 days of the expense or end of trip. See MAPPs 04.01.03, 04.02.01A, and 04.02.01B.
