Selection Criteria

"SmartWay partners submit efficiency and air quality performance data to EPA annually. EPA aggregates and divides the data into five ranked performance ranges. SmartWay High Performers are partners whose efficiency and/or air quality performance falls within the top-ranked performance range." 

The selection criteria for logistics companies is as follows: 80 percent of miles or ton-miles are SmartWay shipped and environmental performance based on 50% CO2 + 25% NO+ 25% PM g/ton-mile

There are also five other categories including carrier fleets, multimodal carriers, and shippers. Check them out here along with all of the pertinent information regarding the SmartWay Transport Partners program!
