SmartWay Transport Partnership

Cleaner freight through voluntary efficiency

SmartWay is a public-private partnership between EPA and the freight industry that helps shippers, carriers, and logistics companies improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.

What you can do

  • Ask local businesses and municipalities to ship goods only with SmartWay carriers
  • Advocate for clean freight policies in your city's climate action plan
  • Support warehouse districts transitioning to electric yard equipment alongside SmartWay partners

How to participate

  • Review partner lists and tools at SmartWay
  • Encourage regional logistics hubs to enrol and publish efficiency metrics

Why it matters

Freight pollution concentrates near ports and industrial corridors. Community pressure on shippers accelerates cleaner supply chains that neighbours breathe every day.
