Organizations with their own established travel-related expenditure rates should use their own rates in the submission of grant related reimbursement requests to the extent that they do not exceed current established State of Texas rates (not TxDOT established rates). All travel-related expenses must be reasonable, necessary and directly related to the grant project.

The maximum reimbursement rate amounts under Texas Behavioral Traffic Safety Program grants for travel-related expenditures are based on the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts policies for state travel regulations. The most current version of the maximum reimbursement rates for travel expenditures is available on the web page.

Under Category 300, potential subgrantees must include only travel costs for project staff by identifying the number of trips planned, the destination for each trip, the number of travelers, and the estimated cost of each trip. If the potential subgrantee wants to travel through the course of the grant, but the location has not been determined, this should be stated in a budget narrative. Travel and Per Diem for subcontractors and non-grant employees must not be listed under Category 300.

See in the eGrants help system for information on entering travel costs into the eGrants Proposal Travel Form Page.
