A U.S. House of Representatives committee on Wednesday will consider a bill that seeks to invalidate a U.S. Postal Service (USPS) environmental review conducted as part of its deal to buy 50,000 next-generation delivery vehicles.
House Oversight and Reform chair Carolyn Maloney is introducing legislation that would toss out the environmental review and compel USPS to conduct a new one. The White House and Environmental Protection Agency previously asked USPS to reconsider.
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy defended the vehicle purchase plan, telling Reuters in an interview last month he picked 10,019 specific routes to use EVs: "We're making big moves." DeJoy called the order "a slam dunk", given USPS's urgent vehicle needs. "I have people out there that have trucks that are dangerous," DeJoy said.
