C. 20548 -198246 PTE: Mah 31, 1981 OF: Linda A. Johnson Reimbu sement for Travel to Airportj Employee on temporary duty was driven by friend in latter's automobile to airport for return flight to official duty station. Employee's claim for mileage and parking fee may be paid to the extent it does not exceed cost of taxicab fare and tip. Decisions limiting reim- bursement for travel with private party to actual expenses paid to private party apply only to regu- lar travel on temporary duty, not travel to and from common carrier terminals. This decision responds to a request from Ronald Boomer, a certifying officer with the General Services Administration (GSA), Region 10, concerning a voucher submitted by Ms. Linda A. Johnson, a GSA employee, for mileage and parking tees incurred during temporary duty travel. The issue presented is whether Ms. Johnson may be reimbursed for mileage and parking fees incurred when a friend drove Ms. Johnson to the airport at the temporary duty station. Ms. Johnson traveled from Auburn, Washington, to San Francisco, California, to attend a training seminar for the period September 24-28, 1979, and she elected to remain in San Francisco on personal business over the weekend, September 29-30. On Sunday, September 30, Ms. Johnson was driven by a friend in the friend's automobile from the friend's residence to the San Fran- cisco Airport, and for this trip Ms. Johnson has claimed mileage (26 miles times 18-1/2 cents per mile) of $4.81 and a parking fee of $1. Since the privately owned vehicle was not owned by Ms. Johnson, the agency ques- tions whether she may be reimbursed for round-trip mileage not to exceed the cost of a taxicab fare or only for the actual expenses she paid to the driver for gas, oil, tolls, etc. DECISION
