The U.S. Postal Service’s mission is to provide timely, reliable, secure, and affordable mail and package delivery to more than 160 million residential and business addresses across the country. The U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General (OIG) reviews delivery operations at facilities across the country and provides management with timely feedback in furtherance of this mission.
This interim report presents the results of our self-initiated audit of delivery operations and property conditions at the Gratiot Station in Detroit, MI (Project Number 26-087-2). The Gratiot Station is in the Michigan 1 District of the Central Area and serves about 21,675 people in ZIP Code 48207, which is considered an urban area.
We judgmentally selected the Gratiot Station primarily based on the number of C360 inquiries related to delivery, STC scans performed away from the delivery point and at the unit, and Leg 3 failures.
