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.
