4\/8\/22 – USPS has released Delivering for America: First-year Progress Report<\/em><\/a>, an update on the 10-year plan to return the organization to financial sustainability and achieve service excellence.<\/p>\n

Under Delivering for America, the Postal Service has begun to reverse decades of losses, improved on-time performance, streamlined operational procedures and invested in postal infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The organization has also greatly expanded its delivery offerings, including the successful pilot and nationwide rollout of USPS Connect.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the first year saw the enactment of the Postal Service Reform Act, which will take a great financial load off of the organization by doing away with the mandated prepayment of retiree health benefits decades into the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have made significant progress in the first year of our Delivering for America plan, but our work is far from over,\u201d said Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur employees are playing an integral role in the advancement of the plan. As we continue to implement components of the plan, we expect to significantly improve on-time delivery performance, operational capacity, precision and efficiency, and to do so in a financially sustainable manner over the coming decade. Delivering for America is helping to drive a new sense of purpose and focus across all levels in the organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other milestones during the past year include the conversion of nearly 63,000 workers with precareer jobs into career employees, nearly $6.3 billion in investments in core postal infrastructure, the judicious implementation of new pricing authority from the Postal Regulatory Commission and the Postal Service\u2019s successful delivery of 320 million COVID-19 test kits, which demonstrates the future applicability of USPS in package delivery and the organization\u2019s role in the nation\u2019s critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n
