NRTC Cadre Travel and Per Diem Expenses

NRTC covers instructor travel and per diem costs while in travel status for NRTC training purposes. However, NRTC does not cover salary.

NRTC will reimburse normal travel/per diem costs at YOUR agency’s rates. Reimbursement for cadre travel expenses will be made by supplying a Job Code to FS,  through a reduction in the NRCG member agency's year-end training bill, or in rare cases, directly to individuals on a trip-by-trip basis. 

• Normal costs are 
• lodging and associated taxes
• per diem
• round trip mileage on an agency owned vehicle
• All other costs must be approved by the Course Coordinator 30 days prior to the travel date(s)
• Cadre members are not authorized to travel or use a NRTC travel Job Code until completion of this online form and approval by the Course Coordinator 30 days or more prior to the travel date.
• Once approved, a Job Code (for Forest Service) or confirmation will be provided.
• A copy of your voucher must be sent to NRTC within two weeks of travel to ensure reimbursement.
