[BAO news for travel administrators]

Good Morning Travel Coordinators:

High-Low City per diems:  We have received the annual IRS notice of updates to the high-low substantiation table that the UO utilizes for per diem travel reimbursement rates within the Continental United States.

Hotels:  The new Low City per diem allowance for lodging will be $132 (up from $128) starting Jan. 1, 2017.  The High City per diem allowance is $214 (up from $207).  We will be updating the spreadsheet on our UO travel webpage and will have it posted soon.  Several cities have been removed from the High City list for 2017 including:  Mammoth Lakes, CA; Midland, TX.  Several cities have been added to the High City list including Sedona, AZ; Los Angeles, CA; Mill Valley/San Rafael/Novato, CA; Vero Beach, FL; Kill Devil, NC and Seaside OR.  Seasonal changes to High City locations include: Denver/Aurora/Vail CO; Ft. Lauderdale/Naples, FL; Chicago, IL; Philadelphia PA; Jamestown/Middletown/Newport, RI; Jackson/Pinedale, WY.

Meals:  Daily meal per diem remains the same with Low City Meal and Incidental per diem at $57 and the High City Meal and Incidental per diem at $68.

Mileage Reimbursement:  UO follows the General Services Administration (GSA) in the setting of mileage reimbursement rates which is currently 54 cents per mile for personal vehicle usage.  There have been no announcements to date regarding any changes for 2017.

Please let the travel office know if  you have any questions.
