Have a USPS vehicle? Don’t misuse it

There are rules about where you can go and who can go with you

The Postal Service is reminding employees to only use USPS vehicles for authorized purposes.

The vehicles should never be used to commute between home and work; run personal errands; complete non-USPS job assignments; or transport unauthorized people.

While on official travel or a detail assignment, using a postal vehicle for unauthorized activities — such as going sightseeing or visiting friends — is prohibited.

Misusing a Postal Service vehicle can result in disciplinary action. In some instances, a federal statute mandates a minimum penalty of a 30-day suspension without pay.

Employees with questions about the use and misuse of postal vehicles should email the USPS Ethics Office. Those with questions about using a vehicle for official duties should email the USPS Travel Office.
