The US Postal Service no longer has to report how well it delivers mail
What happened
The US Postal Service no longer has to report how well it delivers mail. The Postal Regulatory Commission removed the requirement for annual service performance reports on its main products.
Why it matters
The US Postal Service has been losing money for years. It has also been struggling with on-time delivery. This change means the public will have less data to track how well the Postal Service is actually doing its job.
The signal
Watch for any new, less transparent ways the Postal Service might report its performance, or if it stops reporting altogether.
