     MATTER OF: Travel entitlements to carrier
                  terminals

     DIGEST: [llowances for trr,,Q.
               ow:n-4v*ebiz'e fro'f' aARember's per-
               manent station to a carrier terminalj
               located outside the member's duty
               station and not adjacent to it for
               members of the uniformed services
               and their dependents is authorized
               on the same basis as when the common
               carrier terminal is located within
               the limits of the member's permanent

members of the uniformed services and their dependents
when performing authorized travel using privately owned
vehicles to travel to a common carrier terminal 'which is

permanent duty station. It is our view that the regula-
tions may be amended.
     This question together with the proposed change
in the regulations was submitted by the Acting Assistant
Secretary of the Air Force (Manpower, Reserve Affairs and
Installations). The request has been assigned PDTATAC
Control No. 80-12 by the Per Diem, Travel and Transporta-
tion Allowance Committee.

     The regulations now permit payment of a monetary
allowance based on round-trip mileage between a member's
residence or official station and the common carrier
terminal plus parking fees incurred at the terminal
when the member is driven in his automobile to or from
