DeJoy announces plans to step down as USPS postmaster general

“While there remains much critical work to be done to ensure that the Postal Service can be financially viable as we continue to serve the nation in our essential public service mission, I have decided it is time to start the process of identifying my successor and of preparing the Postal Service for this change,” DeJoy said in a statement.

USPS is about midway through DeJoy’s10-year reform plan. The agency has yet to reach its “break-even” financial targets, but reported a rare net profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
