What is the SmartWay Partnership?
The SmartWay Transport Partnership is an innovative collaboration between the freight industry and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). Endorsed by major freight industry associations, companies, and trade publications, SmartWay Transport is leading the way to greater fuel efficiency and lower emissions from the freight sector. The program is administered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and is housed with the US EPA’s Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ) under the Transportation and Regional Programs Division (TRPD). SmartWay also administers the National Idle-Free Corridors Program which is a program committed to eliminating all unnecessary long-duration truck idling along interstates, at distribution centers, and along other transportation corridors. The SmartWay brand signifies a partnership among government, business and consumers to protect our environment, reduce fuel consumption, and improve our air quality for future generations.
