Report Description
The paper recommends the Postal Service consider opportunities for public-private partnerships (PPPs) to reduce its costs, make its outlays flexible so that they vary along with volume, and leverage private sector expertise in developing new products for the digital age. The paper reviews lessons learned from PPPs in the postal sector and from nonpostal government agencies in the United States. Over the years, government agencies have developed a set of best practices to ensure that a PPP is a good deal for the public. There are significant benefits to creating a central office to facilitate PPPs, coordinating with private entities, and collecting and sharing best practices throughout an agency.
