Postal Suspension Transparency Act

Look up temporarily closed post offices

This bill would require the U.S. Postal Service to create a public website listing post offices temporarily suspended under Subchapter 61 of the Postal Service Handbook PO-101 (or any successor). The site would show each covered post office with its street address, the suspension start date, and the stated reason. For each location it would list alternative services, how to request curbside delivery, the nearest retail postal facility and its hours, and, when practicable, an estimated date service will resume. The site must include search by street address, ZIP Code, or PO Box, an interactive dashboard that is searchable and sortable, and, when practicable, bulk download and open structured data. The information would not count as legal notice of a suspension. USPS would have to put the site online not later than one year after enactment.
