The EODSA has a match official travel expense policy based on a zone model rather than an actual mileage traveled model. The match official’s home and all fields are located within one of 23 zones.
The maximum travel expense will be $60.

When a match official officiates a game, a table is used to calculate the travel expenses.

Travel expenses will only be paid for the following games:

• Adult competitive games
• Adult recreational and youth games if the game is played in a rural zone

Travel expenses will no longer be paid for the following games:

• Adult recreational and youth games that are played in a suburban zone

Suburban locations are:

• Stittsville
• Kanata
• Richmond
• Nepean
• Ottawa
• Gloucester
• Cumberland

All other zones are considered rural zones.
Examples:
If a referee lives in Rockland and referees a MC2 game in Nepean then travel expenses will be paid.
If a referee lives in Rockland and referees a MR1 game in Nepean then travel expenses will not be paid.
