Abstract
The SmartWay Transport Partnership is an innovative collaborative voluntary program between the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the freight industry designed to improve energy efficiency and lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air pollution. Started in February 2004, the partnership aims to create strong market-based incentives that challenge companies shipping products, and the truck and rail companies delivering these products, to improve the environmental performance of their freight operations.
This white paper presents an evaluation of the historic growth and future challenges of the EPA SmartWay Program.
