The Minnesota Trucking Association (MTA) is a 501(c)(6) non-profit trade
association that has represented the interests of Minnesota’s
motor carrier industry since 1932. The MTA has almost 700 member companies
and is the Minnesota affiliate of the American Trucking Associations.
MTA’s mission is to provide advocacy, information, and services
to ensure safe transportation and a successful Minnesota trucking industry.
MTA has taken an active role in educating its members about the Partnership,
and, thanks in part to its efforts, 10% of all SmartWay Carriers are
based in Minnesota. MTA’s specific accomplishments under SmartWay
include:
• recruiting 17 new SmartWay Carriers
• hosting a press event which attracted substantial local media
coverage
• placing SmartWay articles in its membership newsletter
• promoting SmartWay at several industry and state-wide conferences
"The Minnesota Trucking Association is proud to play a part
in bringing the SmartWay Transport Partnership to Minnesota. We will
continue to encourage our member companies to enroll in the program
and help us exhibit to Minnesotans the trucking industry’s commitment
to improving the state’s air quality and promoting a cleaner environment.”
