Rates for PFP Reimbursement of Travel and Meals

Prudent planning for travel applies to both federal employees and non-public servants. Travel is to be avoided where cost efficient alternatives are appropriate and available. Virtual presence, teleconference, videoconference and other remote meeting solutions should be considered. The most economical means is to be selected given the nature of the trip when booking transportation, accommodations and meeting facilities.

Use the following rates and provide the necessary supporting documentation to ensure your claim is in accordance with the federal travel directive.
