Postmaster DeJoy called for immediate action as he sounded the alarm about the failing federal program in a letter to Congress this week.
He stressed that without intervention, the agency could face further closures, delays, and disruptions that have already frustrated millions of Americans.
In the letter, DeJoy asked the Department of Government Efficiency for help in addressing four main challenges.
The first concern centers around leases for USPS’ post offices and retail centers.
He warned of “future difficulties we will face in their renewal because of ownership consolidation, urban development, and general increases in rental rates when decades-long leases expire,” he wrote in the letter.
