Jimmy Person appeals a portion of the trial court’s restitution order. He argues the trial court abused its discretion when it ordered him to pay for Rosa Bailey’s pain and suffering and her use of public transportation. The State concedes the trial court abused its discretion. We reverse and remand.

Person argues the trial court abused its discretion when it ordered him to pay for Bailey’s public transportation expenses and her pain and suffering because the restitution statute does not provide for payment of those expenses. The State concedes the trial court abused its discretion, and we agree. See, e.g., Springer v. State, 798 N.E.2d 431, 436 (Ind. 2003) (reversing portion of restitution order requiring Springer to pay the cost of airline tickets for victim’s father because “the General Assembly has not authorized the trial court to include this expense in its restitution order because none of the statutory restitution categories includes [sic] any language that could be construed to authorize it”), reh’g denied; see also Rich v. State, 890 N.E.2d 44, 53 (Ind. Ct. App. 2008) (reversing trial court’s restitution order requiring Rich to pay for the cost of victim’s security because no portion of the restitution statute could be construed to require him to do so), trans. denied.
Conclusion
The trial court abused its discretion when it ordered Person to pay restitution for Bailey’s public transportation expenses and her pain and suffering. We reverse the trial court’s restitution order in those respects and remand for correction of the trial court’s restitution order to reflect the correct amount of $2,985, which reimburses Bailey for the loss of her car and her medical expenses.
Reversed and remanded.
