• Reimbursement rates to operate a privately owned vehicle may vary when authorized by department head/designee, or for specialized vehicles with certification.

• Rates claimed in excess of authorized cents per mile require that the certification statement on the TECTravel Expense Claim be signed by the employee. The statement says, “for mileage reimbursement which exceeds the minimum rate, I certify that the actual cost of operating the vehicle was equal to or greater than the rate claimed.” The maximum mileage rate that may be claimed without justification to the Internal Revenue Service (IRSInternal Revenue Service) is 24.0 cents per mile and subject to change.
