The United States Postal Service (USPS) is upgrading its delivery fleet, replacing decades-old trucks and introducing electric vehicles.
However, the transition has proven more expensive than expected to taxpayers, according to Taxpayers Protection Alliance‘s President David Williams.
Speaking with Fox Baltimore on Thursday, Williams criticized the agency’s ability to secure competitive contracts while noting that — on average — USPS vehicles are “20 to 30 years old.”
“There are about 100,000 postal vehicles on the roads. And they do need to be replaced,” he stated. “I mean, that’s not even a discussion, they do need to be replaced.”
Williams flagged, however, that the post office is “not really good at spending money.”
