Join the Partnership:
Freight Carrier 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.  Railroads and trucking fleets of all sizes and types can join the SmartWay Transport Partnership.

Fleets wishing to join the SmartWay Transport Partnership commit to:

  • Measure the environmental performance of their existing operations (trucking companies use EPA's FLEET Performance Model for Carriers to measure performance)
  • Identify a goal to improve the environmental performance of their operations
  • Develop a plan detailing how the goal will be achieved
  • Report their progress annually to EPA

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 develop and meet your goals
  • Create incentives to facilitate the introduction of innovative technology
  • For trucking companies, provide qualifying partners the SmartWay Transport Partnership logo - a symbol of superior environmental achievement
