Question 1

What does HR2103 do?

Accepted Answer

The Protect Postal Performance Act establishes a comprehensive set of restrictions and procedural requirements designed to prevent the United States Postal Service from degrading mail service quality through facility closures, consolidations, and transportation optimization initiatives. The bill responds directly to ongoing USPS restructuring efforts, particularly the Mail Processing Facility Review and associated Local Transportation Optimization and Regional Transportation Optimization programs, which critics argue have slowed mail delivery and reduced service access for millions of Americans. The legislation pursues three primary objectives: halting transportation schedule changes that reduce pickup or drop-off frequency at post offices, imposing mandatory regulatory review before any such changes can proceed, and establishing geographic protections that prevent entire regions from losing processing and distribution infrastructure. By requiring Postal Regulatory Commission oversight and creating hard prohibitions on certain closures, the bill fundamentally reorients the balance of authority between the Postal Service's operational discretion and public service obligations.
