Postal Suspension Transparency Act

This bill would require the U.S. Postal Service to create and maintain a public website listing post offices whose operations have been temporarily suspended in an emergency. For each such post office, the website would show its address, the date the suspension began, the reason, alternative services such as curbside delivery, the nearest open postal retail location and its hours, and, when practicable, an estimated reopening date. Users would be able to search by street address, ZIP Code, or post office box, and the data would be offered in open, downloadable formats where practicable. The Postal Service would have one year after the law is enacted to launch the website, and the website would not count as official notice of a suspension.
