Background:

The USPS is proud of its safety record and equally proud of postal employees who daily provide excellent customer service, while safeguarding themselves and the neighborhoods they serve. National Safety Council Million Mile Club and Safe Driver Awards are appropriate methods of recognizing employees who are dedicated and committed to safe working and driving practices. 

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses, and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
