USPS opposes bipartisan ZIP code legislation: ‘Would significantly degrade mail service’

Published



The U.S. Postal Service opposes two House bills that propose to add 76 new ZIP codes across the country, citing a financial burden and harm to mail delivery service.

On Monday, H.R. 672, proposed by Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL), and H.R. 3095, proposed by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), passed. These two pieces of legislation, cosponsored by members across the aisle, hope to add new ZIP codes to assist smaller communities with faster mail times, first responder responses, and increased sales taxes.
