The Postal Service is reminding employees that the National Safety Council is accepting nominations for the 2026 Joseph M. Kaplan Safe Driver of the Year Award until Thursday, April 30.
The award recognizes USPS drivers who have driven for 15 years or 100,000 miles without a preventable collision.
Nominees must be full-time employees whose primary responsibility is to operate motor vehicles regularly to perform their normal duties.
Any USPS facility may nominate drivers for the award, which is named for a longtime president of the council’s Southern California chapter.
Winners will be announced in June.
The nomination form and more information are available on the council’s website.
