Protecting Mail Service: Limits on Closing Postal Centers Due to Poor Delivery.

This bill aims to protect local postal processing centers from closure or consolidation if the region fails to meet specific on-time delivery standards. For citizens, this means that areas already experiencing slow mail delivery will retain their local sorting facilities, preventing potential further service degradation. The measure seeks to stabilize postal infrastructure in underperforming regions.
Key points
The USPS is prohibited from closing or moving processing centers in regions that fail to meet minimum on-time delivery performance targets.
These targets include delivering at least 93% of two-day first-class mail and 90.3% of three-to-five-day first-class mail on time.
The goal is to ensure service stability and prevent additional delays in areas where mail delivery quality is already a concern.
