LA PUENTE, CA — The U.S. Postal Service has opened a new state-of-the-art Sorting & Delivery Center (SDC) in La Puente, California, marking a major milestone in its nationwide effort to modernize operations and improve service for the over 168,600 residents served by the La Puente Post Office.

The facility, which holds 88 routes, and is responsible for over 48,500 deliveries per day, was unveiled during a special event attended by employees and their families.

The SDC is designed to also streamline packaging and mail processing, bridging faster deliveries with a more efficient network and new processing equipment.

A development welcomed at the La Puente Post Office which processes an average of 7,000 packages per day.

The modernized La Puente SDC is one of 111 recently launched sorting and delivery centers across the nation, with approximately 300 more planned to open over the next few years.

SDCs are a culmination of the cultural change transforming the Postal Service, focused on innovation, collaboration, problem-solving and competition.

As the nation’s end-to-end carrier of choice, nearly $19 billion in investments have been made to revitalize the Postal Service’s national processing, transportation and delivery networks.

“We’re transforming our operations to invest in our future by meeting the evolving needs of our customers,” said District Manager Cipriano Corona. “The new La Puente SDC is part of our commitment to delivering faster, more reliable service while creating a better workplace for our dedicated employees.”

This initiative is part of a broader, $40 billion investment across the nation aimed at improving delivery reliability, efficiency, and employee working conditions.

These upgrades mean shorter wait times, improved package tracking, and enhanced safety measures for the USPS employees serving the state.

The Postal Service’s nationwide infrastructure investments continue to put the organization on a positive trajectory, ensuring it remains a trusted, high-performing delivery provider for every American household.
