Mail Traffic Deaths Reporting Act of 2025

The Mail Traffic Deaths Reporting Act would direct the United States Postal Service to issue regulations requiring the collection, tracking, and public reporting of information related to deaths and injuries from traffic crashes involving vehicles transporting mail. The bill would require USPS employees and contractors to report any traffic crash involving a mail vehicle that results in injury or death within three days of the incident. These reports would need to include detailed information about the crash, including the date, time, location, and nature of the incident. The USPS would be required to maintain an internal database with comprehensive information about such crashes and make this data publicly available. The bill would also establish enforcement mechanisms, allowing the USPS to impose penalties on contractors who fail to report crashes within the required timeframe, including fines, contract suspension, or contract termination. The bill passed the House on March 3, 2025, with broad bipartisan support and is currently under review by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
