Postal Travel Card

Going on Official Travel?

A postal travel card can be used for:

Transportation, lodging and other travel-related services.
Authorized travel of your spouse.
Your immediate family if they are traveling because you are being permanently relocated.
Important: You can’t use the government travel card for personal business. Ever.

Proper use of travel cards helps keep postal finances on track.

And that’s smart business.

Don’t struggle on your own

Work with Your Team. Enhance Your Success.

When facing new challenges, seek the expertise of those around you. By working with your team to develop solutions, you harness the power of the unique knowledge and experience each member brings to the table. This creates more opportunity for success than you can accomplish on your own.

Also, be sure to support team members when they ask for your advice. Your team needs your talents as much as you need theirs.

And that’s smart business!

Motorcycle accidents

Bikers thank you for looking.

What’s the single most dangerous situation for motorcyclists? Cars making left-hand turns. This accounts for 42 percent of all accidents involving a motorcycle and car. Usually, the turning car strikes a motorcycle going straight through an intersection, passing the car or trying to overtake the car. The motorcycle’s smaller size makes it less visible to the driver of the turning vehicle.

Motorcycle accidents don’t necessarily happen more frequently than other types of accidents. But they’re more likely to result in serious injury or death.

Being a defensive driver means looking out for motorcyclists — and all vehicles.

That’s smart safety!
