Postal Regulatory Commission Signs Off on Shorter Retail Hours for Post Offices

An internal review and data collection plan will help the Postal Service evaluate whether the POStPlan is meeting its objectives and goals. Monitoring and measuring changes in revenue at POStPlan offices should be part of post-implementation reviews.

“The Commission is pleased that the Postal Service has been responsive to the suggestions we have been making in regard to community input and maintaining universal service in all communities,” said Ruth Goldway, the Commission’s Chairman. “With the Postal Service’s assurances, as documented in this Advisory Opinion, the Commission believes that adequate retail access will be preserved throughout the Nation.”
