Gear
When should you change gear when driving? A normal cruising rev range will be between 1800-2500rpm. The ideal is to keep your vehicle in a gear where you are doing around 2000rpm, unless you are coming to a stop. On long downhill sections, change down one or two gears. You don’t want to change down too many.
Safe Mountain Driving: Brush Up On These Safety Tips. Shift to a lower gear before you start heading downhill, as this will help slow down the car without you having to ride the brakes, says the National Park Service. If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, use “L” or “2.”

Federal employees
- TSP
- TSP can be changed at any time through myPay.
- TSP contribution limits
- After a change, the effect starts on the next pay period. For example, if we made a change during the last pay period (Dec 10-Dec 23, 2017), the election will be effective on Dec 24, the first pay period for 2018. See News.
- Unlike regular TSP elections, a Catch-up election is only valid for one year. Therefore, if you want to make Catch-up contributions each year, you must make a new election each year. Also it takes 2 weeks for the change to take effect. The catch-up election limit will be shown on the myPay webpage.
- TSP calculator
- TSP follows the payroll calendar. Pay period end on Saturday and the pay day is on next Friday.
- Lose or use calendar (see itas reports) is not the same as the payroll calendar
- Federal agents closed. Tier 2 (telework ready) employees still need to work and enter an ad-hoc TW request.
- GS payscale table, Employee Lookup Tool
- Payroll calendar
