USPS cost-saving program has impacted mail service in Wisconsin

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Postal Service calls its new cost-saving plan Local Transportation Optimization (LTO). It involves ending the evening pickup of mail from post offices for delivery to a processing center.

So, mail dropped off at the post office during the day, or collected by letter carriers on their routes, sits in the post office until the following morning. Residents of Green Bay, one of two cities to get LTO first, are mixed on the results.

    • The program has been criticized by lawmakers on Capitol Hill, including Democrat Mark Pocan of Madison
  • Still, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy hopes to implement the program nationwide
