Bill > HR758

This bill requires the United States Postal Service (USPS) to establish new regulations for reporting traffic crashes involving mail-transportation vehicles that result in injury or death. Specifically, the bill mandates that all USPS employees and contractors must report any traffic crash involving a mail vehicle that causes injury or death within three days of the incident. The report must include detailed information about the crash, such as date, time, location, nature of the crash, number of injuries and fatalities, and contributing factors. The Postal Service will be required to create a standard reporting form, maintain a digital database of these crashes, and publish an annual public report with aggregated statistics and analysis, ensuring that no personally identifiable information is disclosed. Contractors who fail to report crashes within the specified timeframe may face penalties including fines, contract suspension, or termination. The bill defines a "crash" as a motor vehicle incident in interstate or intrastate commerce that results in a fatality, requires immediate medical treatment, or causes significant vehicle damage requiring towing. The goal is to enhance transparency and accountability in tracking traffic incidents involving postal vehicles.
