USPS Connect: Powering Next-Day Delivery
Las Vegas Friday, January 7, 2022
Deadly Roadways
No other organization reaches and serves the American public so visibly every day than the United States Postal Service®. Now, it’s leveraging its vast network and reach to bring businesses what consumers are demanding: fast and affordable next-day delivery. Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, consumer shopping behaviors have fundamentally changed. Shipping has surged tremendously as consumers moved their purchasing online. By 2025, the e-commerce share of all retail sales is expected to grow to 23 percent, more than double its share in 2019. Rather than waiting for their lunch hour or after the kids are in bed, consumers are placing orders on their mobile devices as they think of them, between video conference calls or while doing daily tasks. At the same time, consumers increasingly expect their orders to be fulfilled and delivered quickly, with more than 30 percent saying they are frustrated when shipping takes too long. About 87 percent say the shipping experience directly impacts their decision to shop with a merchant again.

NHTSA reported that there were 38,680 traffic fatalities in 2020, a huge number despite the drastic reduction in miles traveled due to the pandemic. For reference, that is a 7.2 percent increase over 2019 before there was any effect from the pandemic. However, Heidi King, prior acting director of the NHTSA, has said the true number is probably higher. “Safety is the top priority for the U.S. Department of Transportation. Loss of life is unacceptable on our nation’s roadways, and everyone has a role to play in ensuring that they are safe. We intend to use all available tools to reverse these trends and reduce traffic fatalities and injuries,” said Dr. Steven Cliff, NHTSA’s acting administrator. The major fatality types that saw drastic increases include motorcyclists and pedal cyclists, which represent increases of 9 percent and 5 percent respectively. The factors and demographics that saw the largest increases include urban roads of various types Continued on Page 13
