Taxi Rules

The cost of public ground transportation such as buses, subways, airport limousines, and taxis is reimbursable. Taxi reimbursement is limited to $15 per day without receipts; claims in excess of $15 per day require receipts to account for the total daily amount claimed - keep your receipts and attach them to the Travel Voucher. No expense should be claimed where it has not been incurred.

Train, Ferry and Toll Expenses

You do not need receipts for amounts less than $5 per day. For amounts greater than that, attach your original itemized receipts to the travel voucher.

Note: Remember to attach your train trip itinerary.
