FAIR Fleets Act

This bill tells the Postal Service to make sure its delivery trucks are spread out fairly across the country and to upgrade old vehicles. It requires a plan to increase the number of vehicles in places that don’t have enough and to replace older trucks with models that use less fuel and are better for the environment.

Each year by December 31, the Postal Service must report to Congress and the Comptroller General on where its vehicles are, what it did to help underserved areas, and what more is needed. “Underserved areas” include rural places, regions where over half the trucks are past their service life, counties with long mail delays, low‑income urban neighborhoods, and Indigenous and Tribal lands. These changes start 180 days after the law is enacted.

• Who is affected: Postal customers in rural areas, places with aging postal trucks, counties with long mail delays, high‑poverty urban neighborhoods, and Indigenous and Tribal communities.
• What changes: More delivery vehicles in underserved places and a push to modernize the fleet with fuel‑efficient, cleaner trucks; yearly public reporting on progress.
• When: Requirements begin 180 days after the law takes effect; reports are due every year by December 31.
