Commuting costs are personal expenses, and, absent statutory authority, appropriations are not available for personal expenses. Where, however, USCP establishes a legitimate operational need for a building-to-building shuttle, there is no objection to employees' incidental use of the service as part of the home-to-work commute, so long as such use does not result in additional expense to the government. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-305864/html/GAOREPORTS-B-305864.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-305864/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-305864.pdf GAO/B-305864 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-305864 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-305864; B-305864, United States Capitol Police--Employee Shuttle, January 5, 2006; Volume 100 Page 3067 100 Stat. 3067 Public Law 99-550
