Regular Mileage Reimbursement for a Trip

Actual business mileage is calculated for direct mileage between points on the traveler’s itinerary.   Mileage in excess of this requires a written explanation of the business purpose. Mileage will be calculated from the traveler’s duty station or home, whichever is closer. A mileage calculator is on our webpage listing commonly visited cities. If the city needed is not listed, use Mapquest.com to obtain mileage.  Attach the printout to the travel reimbursement.
