The Postal Service wants employees to remember they have a duty to conserve and protect government property — including USPS vehicles.
The organization’s vehicles should not be used:
• To commute between home and work;
• To go on vacation;
• To transport unauthorized persons such as a child, relative or friend; or
• To run personal errands.
When on official travel or a detail assignment, USPS vehicles should not be used:
• To visit friends and family;
• To sightsee; or
• For entertainment.
Misuse of a USPS vehicle may result in disciplinary action — ranging from a minimum 30-day suspension without pay to removal from the organization.
Employees with questions about the use and misuse of Postal Service vehicles can email the USPS Ethics Office or call 202-268-6346. Employees with questions about using a postal vehicle while on detail or official travel can email the USPS Travel Office.
