To address economic and environmental challenges surrounding growth in the freight industry, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed the SmartWay Transport program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution from the ground freight transport industry. This innovative, voluntary program promotes efficiency in the freight sector. Through public-private partnerships, SmartWay Transport is helping freight companies save money while also reducing fuel consumption and harmful environmental impacts. This new approach to government/industry cooperation demonstrates that environmental protection and economic progress can go hand in hand. The objective of SmartWay Transport is to increase the fuel efficiency and environmental performance of the ground freight industry through four core components: The SmartWayTransport Partnership; The National Transportation Idle-Free Corridors Project; SmartWay Innovative Financing Program, and SmartWay Technologies Program.
