Please see attached letters from UC Office of the President announcing:
  1. Changes to the UC Travel Policy, Business & Finance Bulletin G-28. The two most notable changes are:
    • Lodging: A new maximum of $275 on nightly room rates has been established for travel assignments of less than 30 days within the continental United States (CONUS).
    • Meals and Incidentals (M&IE): Maximum daily reimbursement for meals and incidentals cap will decrease from $74 to $62 for travel assignments of less than 30 days within the CONUS. Exceptions are not permitted. As a reminder, per our local campus procedure, receipts are not required for meal costs less than $75.
  2. An increase to the 2018 mileage reimburse rates associated with personal automobiles used for business travel or relocation. The rates are effective for expenses incurred on or after January 1, 2018.

Please ensure your travelers are aware of these changes. Questions should be directed to travelfeedback@ucr.edu.
