K.A.R. 1-18-1a has been amended to increase the reimbursement rates for privately owned vehicles for
travel taking place on or after July 1, 1998. The amended rates are:
16¢ per mile for privately owned motorcycle
32¢ per mile for privately owned automobile
44¢ per mile for privately owned airplane
44¢ per mile for privately owned specially equipped vehicle for the physically disabled
Examples of specially equipped vehicles include, but are not limited to, those equipped with hand controls
or lift devices. Other situations may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis if you are uncertain about the
applicability of this rate.
Please note that the provision to reimburse mileage at the central motor pool rate for compact
cars remains in effect for any state employee choosing to use a privately owned automobile, when
a state-owned or leased vehicle is available for use. For FY 1999, this rate remains at 18¢
per mile as established by Central Motor Pool. The complete schedule of motor pool rates will be
distributed to all state agencies in a memorandum from the Central Motor Pool Director.
