The Postal Service is reminding employees that they have a duty to conserve and protect government property — including USPS vehicles.
USPS vehicles should not be used to commute to and from work, run personal errands, work a second job or transport unauthorized passengers.
When on official travel or a detail assignment, USPS vehicles should not be used to go sightseeing, visit friends and family, or for entertainment purposes.
Misusing a USPS vehicle can result in disciplinary action ranging from a minimum 30-day suspension without pay to removal from the organization. Supervisors should contact Labor Relations for guidance concerning employee discipline.
Employees with questions about the use and misuse of USPS vehicles can email the USPS Ethics Office or call 202-268-6346. Employees with questions about using a USPS vehicle while on detail or official travel can email the USPS Travel Office.
