The government of the Tula region has fixed free travel for social workers

On November 10, 2026, the government of the Tula region signed a decree approving two new procedures for compensation of transportation costs to employees of social service organizations under the regional authority. The document enters into force from the date of official publication.

The first order concerns employees of social service organizations located in rural areas: they are compensated for the cost of travel from home to work and back - either through payment or through free transportation of the employer. The right extends to travel to work on weekends, holidays or at night over schedule, and to business trips in the Tula region.

The second procedure applies to workers whose employment contract provides for permanent or periodic use of public transport: they are compensated for travel on urban, suburban and intra-district (in rural areas) transport in the performance of their duties. Taxis are not in either order.

In both cases, the expenses are reimbursed by the Centralized Accounting Department of the Ministry of Social Protection of the Tula Region at the expense of the regional budget. The employee must not later than the fifth day of the month following the reporting, submit an application and attach a itinerary list, as well as tickets or a bank statement on payment for an electronic travel document. The money will be transferred before the twentieth day of the month in which the application was received.

The amount of payment is equal to the amount of confirmed expenses, but not more than four trips per working day at the rate of an electronic ticket. The application forms and the route list will be approved by the order of the regional Ministry of Social Protection.

Recall, as previously wrote “MK in Tula”, the Government of the Tula region approved the quota procedure for passenger taxis.
