The U.S. Postal Service’s plans for network modernization faced criticism from the Postal Regulatory Commission, which expressed concerns over potential negative impacts on rural communities and certain mail services. While the Postal Service aims to save $3.7 billion annually through changes in mail processing and transportation, the commission highlighted that many projections lack solid backing. The agency’s initiatives, including consolidating operations and improving delivery speeds, could disproportionately affect rural areas, raising alarms about service standards and performance issues in cities like Richmond and Atlanta.
