Carrier Route

Carrier Route

Output port that identifies the United States Postal Service (USPS) carrier route for a United States address. A carrier route can identify the area that is covered by a mail delivery person.

Carrier Route Usage

Select Carrier Route to identify the delivery route that an address belongs to. You can also use Carrier Route to identify the carrier route type, such as city, rural route, or general delivery.
An address is considered "general delivery" if the addressee cannot receive mail at a physical mailbox. General delivery addressees can collect mail at a USPS post office.
