Recent headlines in Ohio news journals are exclaiming high praise for developmental disability organizations in Butler County. In particular, the commissioners for this county are celebrating the Butler County Board of Developmental Disabilities for accomplishing major advancements in the development of its programs.

The Board had been floundering financially only a few years ago, but is flourishing today thanks to a new strategic plan. This multi-year action plan is intended to provide higher-quality programs, support and services to individuals and families with developmental disabilities through three key initiatives: Live, Work, and Play.

As part of the Work initiative, the strategic plan includes new transportation policies that the team at CompanyMileage is helping accomplish.

It outlines one particular goal: increase availability of affordable transportation. CompanyMileage products have enabled this goal by providing navigation tools that reduce mileage reimbursement and travel expense costs. This is because, at many developmental disability organizations, mobile employees submit reports of their miles driven to accounting departments whose job is to issue checks, not verify claims. Traditional mileage reimbursement and expense management systems based on odometer readings are rife with inaccuracies and are invitations for fraud.

CompanyMileage’s SureMileage provides organizations with a secure and accurate system for employees to manage reimbursement claims. This IRS- and HIPPA-compliant software eliminates the issues created by traditional odometer readings, resulting in an average return on investment of 10 times the cost of the service on average. With its point-to-point calculation, SureMileage determines the driving distance between the starting point and destination, and eliminates the possibility for mileage padding or side trips.

With help from CompanyMileage, the Butler County Board of Developmental Disabilities is increasing the availability of affordable transportation for over 3,500 people with disabilities, and allowing them to live, work and lead more meaningful lives. A recent election also granted board members an extended levy, which is making even more public funds available to accomplish this mission.
