Question

Answer 1

When going TDY from Colorado Springs, CO, to Albuquerque, NM, with a round-trip mileage of 756 miles, and opting to drive your own vehicle, your authorization will likely include a reimbursement calculated at the standard mileage rate for government travel.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are going TDY (Temporary Duty Yonder) from Colorado Springs, CO, to Albuquerque, NM, and have determined that the round-trip mileage is 756 miles, then when you create your authorization, you should consider the reimbursement rate for using your personal vehicle.

This is typically a per-mile rate that takes into account the wear-and-tear, fuel, and other costs associated with using your own car for government travel. Additionally, you might need to compare the cost of using your personal vehicle with other modes of transportation to ensure that the choice is economically advantageous to the government. If allowed and you opt to use your personal vehicle, your reimbursement will be based on the authorized mileage rate multiplied by the total authorized miles driven.
