Mail Traffic Deaths Reporting Act of 2025

This bill requires the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to track and publicly share information about injuries and deaths from traffic crashes involving vehicles that carry mail, to improve safety and transparency. USPS must collect, monitor, and report this information to the public each year. Personal details are kept private in those public reports.

Postal workers and mail contractors must report any crash that causes an injury or death within three days. If someone is too badly hurt to file on time, they can get extra time. USPS will provide a standard reporting form, keep an internal digital database, and publish yearly summaries with trends. Contractors who don’t report on time can face fines or loss of contracts.

• Who is affected: USPS employees and contractors who drive or transport mail; the public who will see annual safety reports.
• What changes: USPS must set rules to collect, track, and publicly report crash injuries and deaths; maintain a digital database; use a standard report form; protect privacy; and enforce penalties for contractors who fail to report.
• When: USPS has 90 days after the law takes effect to issue these rules; crash reports are due within three days of a qualifying crash.
