The U.S. Postal Service is examining how it can generate additional revenue by offering logistics services to other parts of the federal government, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said Monday.
In a letter to members of Congress, DeJoy gave more details about how Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency will assist the Postal Service’s ongoing turnaround campaign aimed at improving operational efficiency and product appeal, slashing costs and growing revenue.
Among the initiatives assigned to DOGE is developing a business case for leveraging existing infrastructure to help other agencies with logistics needs.
DeJoy said the Postal Service’s retail locations, logistics capability, delivery services, vehicles, buildings and stocking locations can help other agencies reduce costs while enhancing its own profitability. “I believe there are billions of dollars annually that will benefit us and significantly reduce government-wide costs,” he said.
