Business Mileage Reimbursement

When using a personal vehicle for authorized business travel, the university will reimburse travelers at the current IRS mileage rate for actual mileage incurred. This is based on point-to-point mileage between destinations as indicated in Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, or other mapping application. Actual business miles can also be documented with odometer readings per trip.

Business mileage does not include normal commute to and from work, or intra-campus travel. When business travel originates from your home, subtract the commuting miles from the total miles associated with the trip.

Please note that the rate of $0.76 goes into effect in Ignite on August 1, 2026. The rate change from $0.725 was announced by the IRS on July 13 and did not allow sufficient time to enact this with a July 1 effective date.
