The Postal Service has delivered its Transformation Plan to Congress. This comprehensive Plan was developed to address both the near-term and long-term efforts that will result in a continued ability to fulfill the mission of the Postal Service – to deliver business and personal mail affordably to everyone, everywhere.

Postal Service leadership commits to leading the near-term effort of managing the immediate challenges facing the Postal Service. Successful long-term transformation that safeguards universal service in the future is contingent upon the commitment of all stakeholders to work together toward a common vision. It is hoped that this Transformation Plan will spur public policy debate on the most appropriate long-term structure necessary to ensure an efficient, reliable and innovative delivery service sector that meets the future, diverse, economic needs of the nation.

Postmaster General John Potter promised the nation Friday that, following this summer’s planned rate increase, postage prices won’t rise again for two years.
The postal governing board is expected to give final approval next week to a 3-cent rate increase, boosting first-class stamps to 37 cents this summer.
Once that increase is in place, Potter said: “I am committed to maintain that rate schedule until at least calendar year 2004.”
