Recommendation to Encourage Carpooling by Allowing Reimbursement for the Actual Mileage Incurred When an Employee Uses His Privately Owned Vehicle to Transport Other Employees

This document is in regards to a recommendation to encourage carpooling by allowing reimbursement for the actual mileage incurred when an employee uses his privately owned vehicle (POV) to transport other employees from their residences or duty stations to a common carrier terminal, or back, when performing temporary duty travel together. Currently, Federal Travel Regulations (FPMR 101-7) para. l-4.2c(l) permits reimbursement on the basis of the distance between the employee's own residence or place of business and the terminal.
