USPS bets on ‘dramatic interest’ in last-mile plan as volume drops
Postmaster General David Steiner identified three growth priorities for the agency after it posted weaker results for its package shipping products in Q1.
The last-mile bid portal is just one step the Postal Service is taking under Steiner to improve its ailing financial performance. The postmaster general flagged three areas he sees as growth priorities for the agency:
- Finding and enhancing strategic partnerships that expand reach, volume and relevance.
- Bolstering flagship products that improve service and reliability with “improvements that customers can really feel.”
- Leveraging first-mile assets and capabilities such as volume collection and returns to “capture value earlier in the pipeline.”
