Answers about the U.S. Postal Service’s plan for Wyoming mail delivery under its Delivering for America plan have not been easy to come by.
That has Wyoming’s congressional delegation sending outgoing Postmaster General Louis DeJoy a letter seeking concrete answers on how Wyoming mail will be handled.
The letter, signed by Wyoming Republican U.S. Sens. Cynthia Lummis and John Barrasso and U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, highlights in particular that Wyoming mail will be split between four large mail processing centers, called Regional Processing and Distribution Centers (RP&DCs) across four other states.
“Will mail originating in one RP&DC center and destined to a different RP&DC center within Wyoming have to leave the state for processing?” the letter asks. “To what extent will the Cheyenne and Casper processing and distribution centers retaining certain local originating processing operations under the new network affect the implementation of (Regional Transportation Optimization) in Wyoming?”
The Regional Transportation Optimization component of the Delivering for America plan kicks in for any post office that is 50 miles or more away from a large, regional processing center.
