WASHINGTON,
May 21,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- To further clarify the
implementation plans of the Postal Service Mail Processing Facility
Reviews, and continued activity on Regional Processing and
Distribution Centers, Sorting and Delivery Centers, and Local
Processing Centers, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy transmitted
a letter yesterday addressed to Senator Gary Peters, Chairman, Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs Committee. The letter outlines the paused
implementation status of the Mail Processing Facility Reviews, as
well as the ongoing 2024 activities that will continue to advance
and are part of the nearly $15.3
billion in committed self-funded investments. The letter can
be found here.
"Our Delivering for America Plan initiatives are breathing new life
into the U.S. Postal Service. Despite evident progress, it's clear
that these efforts should have commenced more than a decade ago,"
stated Postmaster General and CEO Louis
DeJoy. "The need for swift and comprehensive transformation
in the Postal Service is undeniable. We remain fully committed to
this transformation with the goal of continuously improving service
performance for the American people – all while being financially
self-sustainable."
Please Note: The United States Postal
Service is an independent federal establishment, mandated to be
self-financing and to serve every American community through the
affordable, reliable and secure delivery of mail and packages to
167 million addresses six and often seven days a week. Overseen by
a bipartisan Board of Governors, the Postal Service is
implementing a 10-year transformation plan, Delivering for
America, to modernize the postal network, restore
long-term financial sustainability, dramatically improve service
across all mail and shipping categories, and maintain the
organization as one of America's most valued and trusted
brands.
The Postal Service generally receives no tax
dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage,
products and services to fund its operations.
