The United States Postal Service is primed and ready to deliver exceptional service during the 2024 holiday rush, thanks in large part to the investments and strategies identified in its 10-year Delivering for America plan.
Throughout the year, USPS has maintained strong service performance while engaging in numerous transformational initiatives across the organization and the country. Because of the ongoing implementation of the Delivering for America strategic plan, 98 percent of the nation’s population currently receives mail and packages in fewer than three days.
Specifically, key Delivering for America investments in the Postal Service’s workforce, package processing, and delivery operations ahead of the 2024 peak holiday season include:
- Using 83 revitalized sorting and delivery centers
- Implementing 506 new package sorting machines
- Increased daily processing capacity to approximately 60 million
- Moving more than 95% of volume via more reliable ground transportation
- Hiring 7,500 seasonal employees
- The initial release of the new next-generation delivery vehicles
