Personal Vehicle Use Justification

Per policy, “High Rate” or “Low Rate” mileage reimbursement should only be used if the following circumstances are met:

• a motor pool vehicle or other state-owned or leased vehicle is not available,
• use of personal vehicle is considered to be in the best interest of the state, or
• Legislators and members of the general public are traveling on official state business.

If at least one of the above qualifications is not met, and the Director of your Department approves the use of your personal car, the “Standard Rate” of 26 cents per mile should be used.
