The Postal Service delivers 513 million mailpieces and picks up 700,000 packages on a typical day. Our commitment to continuing that service won’t change — even while we are changing in some important and fundamental ways.
We’re aggressively and effectively responding to the tremendous external changes we’ve seen in technology use and marketplace mailing trends, and we’re taking the necessary steps to get back on a sound financial footing. While we still have to resolve major issues relating to our business model and legislative constraints, we are far from being an organization with insurmountable challenges. We know that America is counting on us — and we’re going to keep delivering.
In 2014, the Postal Service made significant progress in the many ways it serves its customers and performs as a business, which includes driving product and service innovations and network efficiencies, becoming more data-centric and technology-centric and empowering its workforce and delivery platform. All these changes will enable the Postal Service to compete for customers and better serve the public far into the future.
This is our vision, and the entire organization is poised to achieve it.
