Mileage Examples:
  • Mileage to Minneapolis Airport
    • Mileage can be claimed at the higher rate only when flying out
    • Mileage to the airport is approximately 70 miles. We allow an additional 5 miles for off-site parking which means we can reimburse 75 miles one-way
    • Reminder - Mileage can only be claimed from home if your home is closer to the airport than from campus
  • Mileage from Stout to other UW campuses
    • UW Mileage Table shows mileage from one campus to another. During the audit process this table is reviewed to confirm mileage claims are approximately what the graph indicates. Excessive mileage must be clarified to avoid reductions in mileage claims
