(1) The Actor shall be responsible for transporting Actor's personal hand baggage to and
from place of residence, and the Producer shall reimburse the Actor in full for all
reasonable expenses incurred as set forth by the Actor on a form which shall be provided
by Equity for this purpose. Actor shall show proof of all such expenses by providing
Producer with appropriate receipts.
(2) The Actor shall also be responsible for transporting Actor's personal hand baggage and
trunk (as above) under the Producer's direction from the place of residence to the station,
terminal, or place of the Actor's arrival at or near the town in which the Producer's theatre is
located, and back to the place of residence. The Producer will pay for the entire cost of and
reimburse the Actor for such transportation of baggage up to 300 pounds.
Upon arrival, the Producer shall be responsible and pay for transportation of the Actor's
baggage up to 300 pounds from the station, terminal, or place of the Actor's arrival to the
theatre and/or the Actor's lodging place, and back to the station, terminal or place from which
the Actor departs after the close of the engagement.
(3) All arrival expenses covered under (1) and (2) above are due and payable with the first
performance salary payment checks. If the Actor returns to the same city from which Actor
departed, all departure expenses due shall be paid to Actor with Actor's final week's salary.
If the Actor goes to a different city, Actor shall be reimbursed for these expenses upon
presentation of Actor's receipts to the Producer.
(F) Local Transportation. If the Actor's permanent residence is within 50 miles, or sixty miles in
the case of New York City and Chicago, and 75 miles in the case of Los Angeles, of the theatre
and there is no safe and easily accessible public transportation from Actor's home to the theatre,
the Producer, at Producer's expense shall provide round-trip transportation between the Actor's
home and the theatre. This transportation shall deliver the Actor to the theatre for all rehearsals
and half-hour calls and shall return the Actor to Actor's home after the rehearsal or performance,
departing no later than one-half hour after rehearsal is finished or after the curtain call of a
performance, but allowing reasonable time for the removal of costumes and make-up. Public
transportation shall not mean taxis. Equity shall have the sole right to determine if such
transportation is "safe" and "easily accessible" and what a "convenient location" is. If the Actor
uses public transportation, the cost of such transportation shall not exceed 10% of Actor's
contractual salary. If there is no public transportation and the Producer does not supply
transportation and the Actor drives Actor's own car, the Producer shall reimburse the Actor for
mileage at the current IRS rate getting to and from the theatre.
