Commuting Areas



Commuting Areas

This appendix establishes the official local commuting areas for TIGTA for Reductions-In-Force, "reasonable offers" for grade and pay retention, discontinued service retirement (DSR), and severance pay determination purposes.

Commuting areas are established to ensure employee entitlements to certain benefits and programs. Involuntary movement out of a local commuting area may bring an employee entitlement to DSR or severance pay. Commuting areas are also an essential component to definitions of "reasonable offers" for grade and pay retention, DSR, and severance pay.

The following steps should be used to locate the appropriate commuting areas for employees:

• Identify the office in which the employee is located. For example, if an employee works in Chicago, that employee would look for the State of Illinois.

• Once the correct listing for the state is located, identify the appropriate post-of-duty (POD) in the first column, entitled Cities in (State) With TIGTA Offices.

• The second column, Cities Within The Commuting Area, identifies the employee's POD as well as any other TIGTA POD’s within its commuting area. For example, if an employee is assigned to Kansas City, MO, note that on the State of Missouri listing, where the first column contains the Kansas POD, there are several other offices listed in the second column within that POD's commuting area (i.e., Kansas City MO; Mission, KS; Independence MO; Lenexa, KS; Overland Park, KS).

The commuting areas described on the following pages were determined by using the definition in 70.7.5. The general guideline was the "40-mile radius" method, i.e., if offices were located within a 40-mile radius of one another, they were generally considered to be within the same commuting area, and any location outside that 40-mile radius was outside the commuting area. However, if an office had a "past practice" of defining the commuting area differently from the 40-mile radius method, then that practice was accepted as the commuting area for that office.
