Abstract
In 2014, an audit by the Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General found the current fleet of long-life vehicles can only meet the agency’s delivery needs through fiscal year 2017. With the next generation of vehicles still in prototype, the Postal Service lacks assurance that its maintenance strategy to can assure continuity of operations in the interim. Given the urgent need to sustain the fleet in the short-term, this policy memorandum considers incentives as an option to address compliance with scheduled maintenance.
