Planetizen - At least half of all zip codes in America will receive slower and downgraded mail service under Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s Delivering for America Plan, according to an analysis by the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC). “While agreeing with DeJoy that the Postal Service faces extreme challenges and that change is necessary, the PRC said that Delivering for America relies on defective modeling, overly optimistic cost-savings, and fails to fully consider the negative impact to rural communities,” writes Renée Jean for Cowboy State Daily, quoting the PRC’s statement that the Postal Service would be “irreversibly changing its network without laying a foundation for success.”
The PRC analysis showed that the plan would disproportionately impact rural communities across the country, which also rely more heavily on mail, resulting in delays of six days or more.
