The SmartWay Shipper Tool is intended to help shippers estimate and assess their carbon, PM, and NOx emissions associated with goods movement in the U.S. freight trucking, rail, air and barge sectors. Shippers can track their freight-related emissions performance from year-to-year using the Tool and assess a range of strategies to improve the emissions performance of their freight operations, including selection of low-emissions carriers and SmartWay of operational strategies such gas (but not limited to) packaging improvements, load optimization and logistical improvements. The SmartWay truck, Implementation barge, air, logistics and multi-modal carrier emissions performance data that EPA has included in the Tool, along with industry average Class I rail CO2 data, will allow shippers to generate accurate emissions inventories. The data will also help shippers optimize their emissions performance by allowing them to better estimate the emissions impact of individual carriers, modal shifts, and operational strategies.
