Info Circ 01-a-012 - Private Vehicle Mileage

The IRS raised the standard business mileage rate as of January 1, 2001. However, there will be no change, at this time, in the private vehicle mileage reimbursement rates allowed by the state. As established by K.A.R.1-18-1a, they will remain at:

16¢ per mile for privately owned motorcycle

32.5¢ 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 2001, this rate has been established by Central Motor Pool at 25¢. The complete schedule of motor pool rates was distributed to all state agencies in a June 30, 2000 memorandum from the Central Motor Pool Director.
