Travel Rates
Change Oct. 1
The Federal domestic travel per diem (FTR) rates are reviewed and
adjusted annually by the General Services Administration (GSA). These
rates establish the maximum amount of lodging, meal and incidental
(M&IE) expenses that may be reimbursed by SLAC for any one geographical
area. These rates become effective October 1 and apply to travel
performed on or after that date.
Some examples of lodging rate changes are:
Standard Rate
FY04 $55
FY05 increased to $60
Washington, DC
FY04 $150
FY05 reduced to $143
Los Angeles, CA
FY04 $106
FY05 reduced to $100
Ithaca, NY
FY04 $69
FY05 increased to $100
Please note that the cities/counties listed on the GSA tables are areas
that have been determined to be high cost areas. If the location you
are traveling to is not on the GSA tables, then the standard rate
applies.
The FTR rates do change periodically throughout the year as the expense
of travel is determined by GSA to cost more or less. Please review the
rate for the area you are traveling to before you depart on your trip.
