NDSP: Transportation

If the Non-DoD school does not provide and invoice transportation costs, sponsors may claim local transportation expenses separately. Request for Reimbursement of Transportation Expenses is a Worksheet to Estimate cost of Transportation Expenses for mileage or other transportation expenses. Typically, only one Request for Reimbursement of Transportation Expenses worksheet is needed per sponsor if all the sponsor's children are being transported in one trip. Only one round trip per day is allowed; that is, one trip from residence to school and return. The Request for Reimbursement of Transportation Expenses worksheet is not a claim for reimbursement. Actual transportation costs should be claimed on Standard Form 1164 for POV mileage reimbursement or by submitting Claim for Reimbursement of Educational Allowances, along with receipts of other transportation services.
