[Travel_Policy-News] Mileage Rate Decrease

[SMYTH Scott * SCD SARS]

Travel Coordinators,

The Internal Revenue Service has announced that the private vehicle
mileage reimbursement rate will be 50.0 cents per mile, effective
January 1, 2010. The State of Oregon follows the mileage reimbursement
rate set by the General Services Administration (GSA) for federal
agencies. The GSA is prohibited by law from exceeding the IRS rate and
will also lower its rate on January 1, 2010.

Therefore, OAM 40.10.00.PO Appendix A will be amended to state
"Effective 1/1/10, vehicle mileage is 50.0 cents per mile. The State
mileage rate mirrors the GSA federal rate and changes automatically when
the federal rate changes." Thus, for travel that occurs on or after
January 1, 2010, the reimbursement rate for private vehicle mileage will
be 50.0 cents per mile. 

This change affects all employees. HRSD Labor Relations has notified the
affected employees' union representatives (AEE, IAFF, KFAFFA and SEIU)
about the rate change and effective date. 

If HRSD receives any objections, the affected agencies will receive
direction from HRSD.
