The authorized travel days are calculated using 350 miles/day (based on the DTOD distance between the authorized points) for an employee or member. 1 travel day is allowed for each 350 miles of official distance of ordered travel.
This corresponds to a one-way commuting distance of 29 kilometres between your home and work address. If you travel less than 5 days a week, or if your commuting days vary from week to week, the allowance amount will be adjusted and reduced accordingly. Example for one-way distance of 23 km. 23 km â 10 km = 13 km.
