New website would help people find information about temporarily closed post offices.

This bill would require the U.S. Postal Service to create an easy-to-use public website. This site would provide clear details about post offices that are unexpectedly shut down, including why they closed and where to find other services. This means customers would have a central place to get important updates.

What Would Change

Today, there is no single, official website from the Postal Service that provides comprehensive, searchable details about post offices that are temporarily closed due to emergencies. After this bill, the Postal Service would be required to create and maintain such a website, offering specific information like closure reasons, alternative services, and estimated reopening dates, all in an interactive and searchable format.

Requires the Postal Service to set up this website within one year after the bill becomes law.
