Review of Mixed Delivery and Collection Vehicles Acquisition

The mixed delivery and collection vehicle fleet primarily supports Postal Service operations such as mail collection, mixed package delivery routes, and relay drop-offs for city carriers. However, the existing fleet of vehicles had aged beyond its planned life, requiring frequent repairs. To address these issues, the Postal Service made an investment to replace 6,533 vehicles and completed their deployment in December 2017. Our objective was to determine whether the Postal Service’s mixed delivery and collection vehicles acquisition achieved the performance metrics, expected costs, and savings.
