S. 1604 — No RTO Act

This section prohibits the United States Postal Service from implementing its Regional Transportation Optimization initiative, or any similar initiative, if the Postal Regulatory Commission determines in an advisory opinion under 39 U.S.C. 3661 that such implementation will negatively affect rural communities. (As background, 39 U.S.C. 3661 requires the Postal Service to obtain such an advisory opinion, issued after a public hearing, prior to any nationwide or substantially nationwide change in postal services.)
