A group of 26 bipartisan senators asked the United States Postal Service (USPS) to halt operational changes the agency has been implementing until the modifications are reviewed by the Postal Regulatory Commission.
In 2021, the USPS published the 10-year “Delivering for America” plan, in which, multiple changes for the organization were laid out seeking to improve financial and operational efficiency, and transform USPS into “one that is self-sustaining and high performing.” The plan aims to avoid $160 billion in projected losses at USPS by the end of the decade. Since implementing the plan, the postal service has reversed “years of declining reliability,” it claimed. By the end of the plan’s 10-year period, USPS expects to achieve break-even in its operations.
