Rural Missourians may have to wait longer for their mail to be delivered under a proposal being considered in Washington D.C.
The U.S. Postal Service is set to discuss plans to improve mail processing and transportation in hopes of improving delivery times. It would specifically speed up mail delivery for those who live within 50 miles of the Postal Service’s largest processing centers. But that could mean mail delivery for some rural areas might take up to an additional 24 hours.
In an announcement released Thursday, the U.S.P.S. said the proposal would save “approximately $30 billion over the next decade.” The wide-ranging proposal is also being touted as environmentally friendly, stating, “A decrease in the number of truck trips will lead to the Postal Service significantly reducing its carbon emissions, reinforcing its commitment to environmental sustainability.”
The full proposal can be found here.
