New Travel Rates Effective January 1, 2009

The Texas State Comptroller has issued new travel rates starting January 1, 2009

• Lodging - the new lodging rate is $85.00 per night.  This new rate is strictly for lodging rates offered by commercial establishments.  Other lodging expenses, i.e. mandatory parking fees, hotel occupancy taxes, energy adjustments, etc., are considered incidental expense and are excluded from the lodging rate. 

• Meals - the daily rate for meals is $36.00 per day.  The rate will be allocated as follows:  Breakfast $7.00, lunch $11.00 and dinner $18.00.

• Mileage - the new mileage rate is $0.55 per mile

Budgets will not be increased to compensate for the new travel rates, consequently, administrators and principals will need to monitor their expenditures to ensure they stay within their appropriate budget.
