More postal vehicles for underserved areas
If enacted, the Postal Service would have to study and rebalance where it stations delivery vehicles. It would create and follow a plan to send more vehicles to underserved places nationwide and modernize to cleaner, fuel‑efficient vehicles as soon as practicable. USPS would submit a report every year by December 31 to Congress and the Comptroller General. The report would show vehicle counts by state and postal region, steps taken in underserved areas, and recommendations. “Underserved” would include rural areas; regions where at least 50% of vehicles are past their intended service life; counties with limited postal sites and mail delays at least 20% above the national average; urban neighborhoods with poverty over 20%; and Tribal lands. These requirements would start 180 days after enactment.
