When determining the most economical means, both cost and traveler’s time must be considered”. Travel insurance is not covered. Airfare- do not include seat or class upgrades, preferential boarding, alcoholic beverages or meals (use per diem). If traveling by personal vehicle, attach mileage calculation – reimbursement not to exceed comparable airfare.

Return Fri, Sep 23 7:48pm US-Air 5561 $258.00 $25 $283

Total cost= $581.00

Comments: I need to travel 1-day before the conference begins because it starts too early to fly in on the opening day.

Lodging- Use the conference hotel unless justification is included. Include charges for Internet access if applicable, however movies, room service, mini-bar and other add-ons are not allowed.

An additional day of hotel stay is justified before the conference begins if travel schedules require the traveler to leave their residence before 7:00am the day the conference begins to arrive before the start of the conference. (Example justifying extra day: A conference in Atlanta begins at 3:00pm, however to get there that same day would require leaving home at 6:00am to catch an 8:00am flight to arrive at 2:45pm).

An additional day of hotel stay is justified if travel schedules do not allow the traveler to return to their residence before 9:00pm the day the conference ends - leaving after the end of the conference. (Example of no extra day: A Dallas conference ends at 3:00pm, you catch a 5:30pm flight, arrive in Phoenix at 7:45pm and are home by 8:30pm).

Ground Transportation (taxis, shuttle bus, parking)- Local: If a taxi or shuttle bus service is used, reimbursement will be for the least costly method of travel. Parking is available at the airport using long-term economy lot rates – including on-airport parking. If the traveler is being dropped off at the airport, no mileage will be reimbursed; however 1-hour parking is available in the short-term (at terminal) parking garages when picking up arriving travelers. Destination: Transportation should be through taxi or shuttle service. Daily taxi service to/from conference events is allowable, but receipts must be provided. No personal travel will be reimbursed. Ground Transportation Calculation (include amounts where applicable – estimate if necessary):

Local Shuttle/Taxi Local Parking Destination Shuttle/Taxi Destination - Other Total $54.00 $36.00 $25.00 $115.00

Comments: Local parking= 6 days long-term @ $9.00/day. Super shuttle in Orlando round-trip is $36.

Wheelchair rental=5 days @ $5/day. This is necessary because I sprained my ankle and I cannot walk long distances.

Rental Car: If a rental car is required, or more cost effective, attach a letter of justification. Include the District mandated additional insurance, fuel, and hotel parking costs. See the travel guidelines section for more information about rental cars. Meals and Incidental Expenses (including tips) - Receipts are not required. If meals are included as part of a conference or other activity, they must be excluded from reimbursement calculations regardless of the tr avelers participation in the meal. The per diem is not meant to reflect the total cost of meals, just to offset the additional expenses associated with travelin g. MCCCD uses the per diem rates from the State of Arizona. Any travel day of 14 hours or longer is considered a full day; however, partial days are allowed. Departure and return are measured from the time the traveler leaves and returns to their home or du ty post whichever is closer:

a. Breakfast allowed: when departure is prior to 7:00 a.m. and/or return is after 9:00 a.m. b. Lunch allowed: when departure is prior to 11:30 a.m. and/or return is after 1:30 p.m. c. Dinner allowed: when departure is prior to 5:00 p.m. and/or return is after 7:00 p.m.
