This legislative proposal mandates the Postal Service to develop and maintain a publicly available website featuring an interactive web-tool. This platform will provide comprehensive information regarding post offices experiencing emergency suspensions , aiming to enhance transparency and accessibility for affected communities. For each suspended post office, the site must display its street address, the effective date and reason for suspension, and details on alternative services available , including how to request curbside delivery. It will also list the location and hours of the nearest retail postal service facility and, where practicable, the estimated date for operations to resume . The website will include functionality allowing users to search by address or ZIP Code, and to sort, filter, and download data in bulk in an open, structured format. The Postal Service is required to establish this website within one year of the bill's enactment, ensuring that the provided information is easily accessible and reusable, though it will not serve as official notice of suspension.
