Answer: 

Yes.  Time spent in necessary and reasonable travel related to a CJA representation is compensable.  The rate of compensation for travel time may not exceed the statutory maximum hourly rate, and compensation for travel time is ordinarily limited to those hours spent in or awaiting transit.  For more information see the Guide, Vol. 7, Section 230.60.
