The system does mileage calculations based upon your residence, your duty location and the class location.

The calculation is IAW the JTR. It determines the distance between your residence and your duty station. Then it calculates the distance between your residence and your class location. If the distance between your residence and your class location is less than your duty station, you are not entitled to local mileage.

The final travel requirement is “No Travel Required.” Use this when the class is at or near your worksite or otherwise not far enough away to provide any travel entitlements. If this is your situation, no further action is required in CHRTAS.
