U.S. Senator Steve Daines sent a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy today, urging him to reconsider the Postal Service’s decision to cease expedited air distribution service in Montana.

“Hundreds of thousands of customers across Montana rely on air distribution services for the timely mail delivery across vast distances,” Daines wrote. He emphasized the importance of these services for rural residents who depend on them for essential deliveries.

“The USPS has a long-standing record of air distribution in Montana to deliver important parcels to rural customers across the country. Montanans who may live hundreds of miles from the nearest urban center rely on these services to receive their prescription medicines, pension payments, disability benefits, important bills and logistical support to help run their small businesses,” he continued.

Daines concluded by stating, “I urge you to reconsider this decision and look forward to working together to find solutions to maintain consistent delivery and a robust Postal Service.”
