Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
The bill amends Title 39 to require the Postal Service to assess and strategize the fair distribution of its vehicle fleet, prioritize increasing vehicle availability in defined underserved areas, and modernize toward fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly vehicles. It also requires an annual report to Congress and the Comptroller General with detailed fleet distribution data, steps taken, and recommendations.
