SUBJECT:

Increase in Mileage Reimbursement Rate

The standard mileage reimbursement rate is used to reimburse travelers for
the use of their privately-owned automobiles on official university
business. The rate is currently 31.5 cents per mile.

Effective April 15, 1998 UCSD's mileage reimbursement rate for the use of
privately-owned automobiles is increased to 32.5 cents per mile. UC's rate
now coincides with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) mileage rate for 1998.

This notice is to advise you immediately on the approved revision to
policy. PPM 365-2, Means of Transportation, is being updated in its
entirety, and will include this change.

Questions on this change may be directed to the Travel Office either at
telephone extension 43734 or by e:mail Travel@UCSD.edu. For the complete
