Earlier this week the Postal Service shared another monthly update on the implementation of Regional Transportation Optimization (RTO), the initiative that ends evening collections at post offices. (The update is on the PRC website here, and on Google Docs here.)
During the month of February, RTO activations were confined to the area of Springfield, Illinois (ZIPs 623, 625-627). About 150 more post offices now no longer get the evening collection.
That number of implementations is down considerably from January, when RTO was activated at about 1.940 post offices. It’s also well below the average of 875 per month over the past year — and that’s including two months, April and December, when there were no activations.
