Optimizing Highway Transportation at the United States Postal Service

The United States Postal Service (USPS) delivers more than 200 billion items per year. Transporting these items in a timely and cost-efficient manner is critical if USPS is to meet its service and financial goals. The Highway Corridor Analytic Program (HCAP) is a tool that aids USPS transportation analysts in identifying cost-savings opportunities in the surface-transportation network. By using HCAP, USPS has saved millions of dollars annually.
