In accordance with New York State policy, Buffalo State’s Travel Services Department is required to ensure that travelers use the most cost-efficient means of travel when traveling on official college business.

Please note that in many cases, use of a personal vehicle may not be the most cost-efficient means of travel. Personal vehicle mileage rates are reimbursed to the traveler at the IRS mileage rate. Personal vehicles are often used for close-proximity trips. Under campus policy, it is allowable to use a personal vehicle if the travel destination is within 300 miles one way.

If a personal vehicle is used for destinations over 300 miles, please compare estimates to determine the most cost-efficient means of transportation for your trip. Please provide the Travel Services Department with your research documentation.

Personal mileage for trips over 300 miles will be based on the most cost-efficient method of travel.

Please visit the Travel Services website for complete policies concerning personal vehicle travel.
