If travel begins or ends at a location other than the traveler's residence, mileage will be computed for shorter of the two distances.

All procurement practices must be followed, and an approved travel authorization document (approved by the Business Office) must be completed prior to the travel. No District obligation exists to reimburse for travel costs unless traveler is in an approved travel status prior to trip departure.
