Vehicle Rates
COPAS model form Accounting Procedures allow use of PMTA rates as an option to bill costs of operator-owned vehicles. The PMTA organization disbanded effective January 1, 2014, and advised COPAS that it would no longer publish rates after the 2013 rates. As such, COPAS devised and approved an equitable alternative similar to the previously published PMTA rates.
To manage consistency with other COPAS economic factors, COPAS, upon annual Council approval, will begin publishing automotive rates effective April 1, 2014. The annual rates will be provided at no charge. For January through March 2014, COPAS recommends operators using PMTA rates continue to use the 2013 PMTA rates. For convenience, the 2013 PMTA rates are reprinted here, with permission.
For a complete discussion, please refer to COPAS MFI 55.
