Join the
Partnership:
Shippers' Commitment
Stepping out ahead of the curve is courageous and smart.
It takes courage and wisdom to set high goals and standards
for your company. It takes determination to meet or exceed those goals. Smartway Transport Partners are setting the pace for their industry. Any company or organization that ships products can join the SmartWay Transport Partnership.
Shippers wishing to join the SmartWay Transport Partnership commit to:
- Determine the percentage of freight
shipped by SmartWay Transport Partnership carriers
- Measure the greenhouse gas emissions of
their freight facility operations using EPA's FLEET Performance
Shipper/Logistics Model
- Increase the percentage of freight
shipped by SmartWay Transport Partnership carriers to at least 50%
- Identify a goal to reduce the greenhouse
gas emissions from freight facility operations
- Develop an action plan detailing how each
of these goals will be achieved
- Report progress toward achieving each of these goals to EPA annually
In return, EPA commits to:
- Increase public awareness of your
participation in the SmartWay Transport Partnership through
national and regional events, articles, and awards.
- Provide technical assistance to help you
quantify the emissions from your shipping operations
- Assist you in developing and achieving
your goals, working to address challenges, create incentives
- Provide qualifying partners the SmartWay Transport Partner logo
- a symbol of superior environmental achievement
