ATA congratulated 29 member fleets and shippers for winning EPA SmartWay Excellence Awards.

The American Trucking Associations (ATA) recently congratulated 29 member fleets and shippers for winning SmartWay Excellence Awards from the US Environmental Protection Agency.

“Over the past 15 years, the US EPA’s SmartWay Transportation Partnership has provided the tools and information for thousands of companies to create leaner, more efficient supply chains,” said Sarah Dunham, EPA’s director of the Office of Transportation and Air Quality. “This year, EPA is recognizing 72 companies with SmartWay Excellence Awards for outstanding environmental achievements and leadership in goods movement.

“These truck carriers, shippers, and third-party logistics providers are leading the industry and showing that it is possible to move more goods using less fuel, resulting in fewer emissions and air pollutants while also reducing costs and conserving energy.”

Demonstrating a commitment to environmental responsibility and freight efficiency through SmartWay provides for a more sustainable and competitive business environment.

Since 2004, SmartWay Partners have avoided emitting more than 119 million metric tons of harmful air pollution, while saving 249 million barrels of oil and $33.4 billion in fuel costs—equivalent to eliminating annual energy use in more than 16 million homes. SmartWay partners also help protect clean and healthy air by significantly reducing pollution that contributes to smog, including fine particulate matter and nitrogen oxides.
