This bill mandates that the United States Postal Service (USPS) issue regulations within 90 days to collect, track, and publicly report data on traffic crashes involving vehicles transporting mail that result in injury or death. These regulations will establish mechanisms to monitor and enforce compliance with the new reporting requirements. Both Postal Service employees and contractors are required to report any such crash within three days, providing detailed information including the date, time, location, nature of the crash, and the number of injuries or fatalities. The USPS must create a standard reporting form and accommodate alternative deadlines for those seriously injured. The Postal Service will maintain a continuously updated internal digital database of this information and publish an annual public report summarizing aggregated statistics, trends, and analysis. This public reporting will enhance transparency and accountability, while ensuring that no individual's personal information is identified. Furthermore, contractors who fail to report crashes within the prescribed deadline will face penalties, which may include fines, suspension, or termination of contracts, with the severity of the crash and frequency of noncompliance influencing the chosen penalty.
