UO Travel Policy regarding Private Vehicle Mileage<https://ba.uoregon.edu/travel/air-car-lodging-meals/vehicles#envelope-2432>.

Mileage is reimbursed for the most direct, usually-traveled route.  Substantial deviations from standard distances or usual routes must be justified. Mileage may be claimed from home or work, whichever is the closer distance.  Calculations generally start at the employee's official work station.

Travel between the employee's home and official work station is a personal commuting expense and is not reimbursed.

Mileage claims are entered in Concur using the Mileage Calculator tool, or with odometer readings, or a mileage log with addresses and business purpose.  Odometer readings and mileage logs must be accompanied by a mapping program print out to demonstrate mileage calculation.

Mileage expenses will not be reimbursed on a borrowed or rented vehicle, but fuel receipts may be submitted for reimbursement.

UO Driver Certification<https://parking.uoregon.edu/content/driver-certification-request> is required for anyone driving for UO business.
