USPS Network Optimization Proposal and Service Standards Change Proposal
“The marketplace has changed and we need to build a sustainable business model for the future.”
That was one of the key messages from PMG Pat Donahoe at a September 15 news conference announcing network consolidation. Donahoe said the consolidation proposals were designed to build a more prosperous future for USPS. “The Postal Service is not going out of business,” he said. “We’re a vital part of the American economy and will continue to be for a long time.”
The PMG was joined at the news conference by Chief Operating Officer
(COO) and Executive Vice President Megan Brennan, who said, “We want the Postal Service to be leaner and more efficient.” To reach this goal, she detailed proposals to:
Study operations at nearly 250 processing facilities for possible consolidation or closure.
Make more efficient use of processing equipment.
Decrease the nationwide transportation network.
Revise service standards — from 1-3 days to 2-3 days — for First-Class Mail.
Because the questions and concerns expressed by industry and mail owners are likely to be more sophisicated and technical than those of consumers, the materials will be developed specifically for these stakeholders.
Feedback
The Postal Service is looking for feedback from the mailing industry regarding these proposals. Please send you comments and feedback to industryfeedback@usps.gov.

I was asked to ask questions on proposed closure (Phoebus Station, 1930's facility owned by the USPS) and unable to find link. There are many innovative approaches to be more financially secure in Phoebus, but no where can I find a responsible link to discuss these possibilities.
