    As of January 1, 2024, the federal mileage rate reimbursement increased 1.5 cents to .67 cents a mile.  This is the rate TCSC employees can use to reimburse travel related to professional development and meetings not held on the TCSC campus.  The recommendation before you is to increase the TCSC mileage reimbursement to the 2024 federal rate of .67 cents per mile.
