DELIVERING FOR AMERICA
What you need to know about the United States Postal Service® plan to achieve financial sustainability and service excellence. MODERNIZING USPS MAIL PROCESSING OPERATIONS As USPS moves forward with implementing its Delivering for America plan, it is anticipated that 60 new Regional Processing and Distribution Centers (RPDCs) will open across the nation in the coming years. To make sure the mail and package processing network is positioned to best support these new RPDCs, USPS will conduct Mail Processing Facility Review (MPFR) studies at select facilities in the coming months. #1 USPS is investing $40 billion to modernize the nation’s aging postal processing and delivery networks. 60 new RPDCs will allow USPS to better use resources — including space, staffing, processing equipment and transportation — to take advantage of state-of-the-art technologies that process mail and packages more efficiently, while also creating brighter, cleaner and more modern workplaces for postal employees. #2 The Mail Processing Facility Review (MPFR) process will determine how best to utilize existing facilities in the updated USPS processing network. To ensure that processing facilities are best aligned to support these new RPDCs, the Postal Service will conduct MPFRs of select processing facilities in 2023. These reviews constitute the beginning of a multi-year process to modernize the USPS mail processing network. USPS will seek and consider customer and public input during the process. We will continuously communicate and work with our management associations and unions, and we will monitor the impact of any changes that are implemented and make adjustments to our plans as necessary and appropriate.
#3 USPS is focused on creating better, brighter, modern workplaces for its processing facility employees.
As USPS modernizes its processing network, the focus is on improving the workplace experience for all postal employees. Throughout the MPFR process, USPS will continue to communicate regularly with its unions and management associations to support local employees as appropriate.
