Effective July 1, 2022:

  • The reimbursement rate for the use of a private automobile for University business travel will increase from 58.5 cents a mile to 62.5 cents a mile.
  • The reimbursement rate for driving an automobile in connection with a move or relocation will increase from 18 cents a mile to 22 cents a mile. (Note that reimbursements for moving- related expenses, including mileage, are considered taxable wage income as of January 1, 2018).

As a reminder, transportation expenses shall be reimbursed based on the most economical mode of transportation and the most commonly traveled route consistent with the authorized purpose of the trip.
