State of the U.S. Postal Service’s Financial Condition

While the U.S. Postal Service is viewed by the American people as one of the most trusted government organizations, it has suffered a history of financial net losses dating back to 2007. The Postal Service sought to address these challenges through its 10-year strategic plan, Delivering for America (DFA); published in March 2021. The DFA plan calls for over $40 billion in capital investments and calculates projected savings through initiatives that include $24 billion in revenue improvements, $34 billion in management cost savings, $44 billion in regulatory changes, and $58 billion in legislative and administrative actions.
