Effective January 1, 2009, mileage reimbursement rates will be decreased for Grand Valley faculty and staff members. When traveling on university business mileage will be reimbursed at 55 cents per mile. This decrease was necessary because the IRS lowered the standard mileage rate for business miles.

This new rate is effective for all travel that occurs after December 31. Travel before January 1 will be reimbursed at the previous rate (58.5 cents per mile) regardless of when the travel and expense reimbursement forms are submitted for payment.
