Report Description

As part of its 10-year Delivering for America plan, the Postal Service plans to acquire 106,480 new delivery vehicles, including electric vehicles, between fiscal years 2023 and 2028. The investment in new vehicles will necessitate the replacement and disposal of many long-life vehicles (LLV), which may generate additional revenues. Thus, it is crucial for the Postal Service to establish and maintain internal controls over its evolving disposal processes to mitigate security and financial risks as the 10-Year Plan unfolds.
