On December 10, 2021, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the November 2021 Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which established the Private Transportation Index at 249.640, an increase from the August 2021 Index of 241.773. Therefore, based on the November 2021 CPI-W release, the Equipment Maintenance Allowance (EMA) for rural carriers will increase 2.5¢ to 87.5¢ per mile.

This EMA rate will be effective January 1, 2022 (Pay Period 02-2022).

Charts will be posted when released
