Halting Postal Vehicle Purchases for New Environmental Impact Review

This act stops the U.S. Postal Service from buying new delivery vehicles until a new, thorough environmental impact assessment is completed. This means the Postal Service must re-evaluate how new vehicles will affect air and the environment before they are put into service. The goal is to ensure that decisions about the postal fleet are made with full consideration for environmental protection, which could impact air quality in your community.
Key points
The U.S. Postal Service cannot buy new delivery vehicles until a new environmental impact statement is conducted.

The aim is to ensure new postal vehicles are more environmentally friendly, potentially improving air quality.
