 | | The new phase of Segway HT testing begins June 10 in Norman, OK, and will roll out to five additional locations as follows: Memphis, TN, in mid-June; Bronx, NY and San Francisco, CA, in July; Chandler, AZ, and the sixth site, which has yet to be decided, will begin in August. |
 | | It was found that the Segway HT reduced the physical stress of carrying up to 35 pounds of mail and it decreased the time used to walk between delivery addresses. |
 | | While Segway LLC provided the units to the Postal Service at no cost during the feasibility testing, the Postal Service made the decision to purchase 40 Segway HTs to move forward with this phase of testing in the additional locations. |
