Travel Expenses
The Environmental Council of the States (ECOS) will reimburse each State and Territory for the travel expenses of up to two employees. ECOS will also provide travel support for up to seven Tribal representatives.
Each State and Territory must determine which two of its employees will request reimbursement. Notification of ECOS will occur automatically when the employees register.
Tribal representatives wishing to receive reimbursement must send a request to the Tribal Governance Group’s Robert Holden at robert_holden [at] ncai.org prior to registering. Tribal attendees approved for reimbursement should forward their approval to ECOS prior to registering.
Reimbursable travel expenses include:
- Air or rail transportation in non-refundable coach class.
- Privately owned vehicle (POV) mileage of $0.51 per mile. Interstate use of POV in lieu of less-expensive air or rail must be pre-approved by ECOS.
- Airport and hotel parking.
- Local ground transportation from and to Philadelphia International Airport (Taxi: $26; Lady Liberty Shuttle: $10).
- Lodging of $137 + tax ($157.82) per night for the nights of May 29-31, 2012 only. Additional nights must be pre-approved by ECOS.
- Meals and Incidentals Expenses (M&IE) of $55 per day ($66 GSA Federal per diem less $11 for breakfast, which will be provided each day.) In accordance with GSA guidance, ECOS will reimburse 75% of M&IE ($49.50) on the first and last days of travel.
Everyone planning to seek travel reimbursement must make their own travel arrangements and submit an ECOS EN2012 Expense Form no later than 30 days from the conclusion of travel.

ECOS will reimburse M&IE in accordance with the GSA Federal per diem.
