MTAS Publications: Hot Topics

For those cities that elected to reimburse for travel using the federal reimbursement rates, the federal government decreased the vehicle-cents-per-mile reimbursement rate for 1999 to 31 cents per mile. This decrease became effective on April 1, 1999. Any mileage allowances paid to an employee before April 1, 1999, for mileage expenses incurred prior to April 1, 1999, still qualified for the previous rate of 32.5 cents per mile.
