“SmartWay partners know that improving freight supply chain efficiency is not only good for business, but also good for our shared environment,” said EPA Office of Air and Radiation Acting Assistant Administrator Janet McCabe. “These award-winning partners are leaders among their peers, saving fuel, reducing pollution that contributes to climate change and poor air quality and saving their customers money -- a triple play.”
The SmartWay Transport Partnership encourages companies to move their products the cleanest and most efficient manner, which reduces emissions and helps the businesses save on fuel costs. Since the program’s inception in 2004, participating companies have saved 140 million barrels of oil, or $20 billion in fuel costs, and prevented 60 million metric tons of carbon pollution emissions.
