Read MorePostmaster General John E. Potter reported today that Postal Service Transformation Plan initiatives continue this month with a planned June 27 Summit meeting to consider more rate-setting and flexible-pricing processes that will help maintain universal service at affordable rates. This will mark the second in a series of planned Transformation Plan Summit meetings designed to explore new and modern business models for the Postal Service.
The first meeting, a Ratemaking Summit jointly sponsored last month by the independent Postal Rate Commission and the U.S. Postal Service, drew more than 150 mailing industry representatives who shared their ideas about how the Postal Service of the future might best be able to respond to customer needs and meet the challenges of a changing delivery services marketplace.
The Board of Governors of the Postal Service today announced its support of a bipartisan legislative proposal for postal reform legislation sponsored by members of the House of Representatives’ Committee on Government Reform.
Board Chairman Robert F. Rider said, “We commend Chairman Dan Burton and Representatives Henry Waxman, John McHugh and Danny Davis for their effort to fashion a legislative proposal that goes a long way to address the needs of the Postal Service.”
In a March 2001 letter to the President and the Postal Service’s legislative leadership, the Governors stated that significant statutory reform would be necessary to continue to provide consistent and satisfactory levels of universal service to the American people.
Priority Mail isn’t delivering well for consumers.
The latest post office statistics show that the typical Priority Mail package reaches its destination more than a day and a half longer than first-class items sent for as little as 34 cents.
Priority Mail, hyped as the Postal Service’s low-cost answer to FedEx and UPS, costs a minimum $3.50.
A third of the Priority Mail slated for delivery within three days didn’t make the target for the fiscal year, compared to a 19 percent miss record for first-class mail during that period.
