When Board staff are travelling, staff shall consider the most economical method of transportation as practically possible.

If a less economical travel method is chosen, the reimbursement shall be capped at the most economical cost. When the estimated costs of implementing the Board’s policy on travel rates exceeds the estimated gross cost of leasing a vehicle, the Superintendent of Business Services may arrange for the lease of a vehicle as required.
