Register as a SmartWay Partner

Any company or organization that ships, manages, or hauls freight can become a SmartWay Partner. There are three types of SmartWay Partners:

  • SmartWay Shippers are companies and organizations that ship or receive freight.
  • SmartWay Carriers are companies that carry or move goods for shippers.
  • SmartWay Logistics Companies are companies that hire freight carriers and manage freight shipments for shippers.

SmartWay and Freight Sustainability Leadership

EPA encourages all SmartWay Partners to explore leadership opportunities and commit to leading the way for your industry, your customers and your employees, to a more sustainable freight sector.

  • Freight Sustainability Leadership as Envisioned by SmartWay

Become a SmartWay Affiliate

Companies and organizations that do not ship goods directly but want to support freight supply chain sustainability may be eligible to participate in SmartWay as SmartWay Affiliates.

  • SmartWay Affiliates educate their members and customers about the SmartWay Program and encourage them to join the partnership.
