^SmartWay Transport Partnership U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY SM Partner* ••• Qualification Truck Carriers TRUCK CARRIERS The F.L.E.E.T. (Freight Logistics Energy and Environmental Tracking) Performance Model for carriers generates three scores, one for CO2 (carbon dioxide), one for NOx (oxides of nitrogen), and one for PM (participate mat- ter). These three scores create a composite score which EPA uses to determine if a company qualifies to use the SmartWaySM Transport Partner mark (logo). Carrier FLEET Composite Score Equation: Composite score = >core + NOx Score + PM Score 40 80 80 To qualify to use the SmartWay Transport Partner mark, Carrier Partners must have a FLEET Composite score of 1.0 or higher. Companies that qualify to use the logo must adhere to EPA's SmartWay Graphics Standards and Use Guide (available atwww.epa.gov/smartway), as well as sign and return the Mark Signature Page before using the SmartWay Transport Partner mark. Additionally, the FLEET Composite score will determine the carrier's Shipper Index Factor (SIF), which is used by Shippers to assess their status in the Partnership.

(Freight Logistics Energy and Environmental Tracking) Performance Model for carriers generates three scores, one for CO2 (carbon dioxide), one for NOx (oxides of nitrogen), and one for PM (participate mat- ter).

Tanker Carrier FLEET Composite Score Equation: Composite score = >core + NOx Score + PM Score 40 80 80 The quantification methodology for Tanker Carriers is the same as for other Carriers, however the logo quali- fication threshold is lower to reflect the more limited range of efficiency options for tankers. To qualify to use the SmartWay Transport Partner mark, Tanker Carrier Partners must have a FLEET Composite score of 0.60 or higher. Companies that qualify must adhere to EPA's SmartWay Graphics Standards and Use Guide (available at www.epa.gov/smartway), as well as sign and return the Mark Signature Page before using the SmartWay Transport Partner mark.

The score is generated by multiplying the percentage of freight a shipper moves with each carrier by that carrier's Shipper Index Factor (SIF) and summing the results. To qualify to use the SmartWay Transport Partner mark (logo), a Shipper must score 50% or higher. Example of Shipper Score Generation: SmartWav Partner Carrier A Carrier B Carrier C Carrier D Non-SmartWay Carrier Percent Shipped 20% 10% 10% 10% 10% of Freight With Carrier Carrier SIF Score 1.0 1.25 0.75 1.0 0.0 Total Shipper Score Shipper Score 20.0 12.5 7.5 10.0 00.0 50.0 Companies that qualify must adhere to EPA's SmartWay Graphics Standards and Use Guide (available at www.epa.gov/smartway), as well as sign and return the Mark Signature Page before using the SmartWay Transport Partner mark.

The score is calculated by multiplying the percentage of freight a Logistics Partner moves with each carrier by that carrier's Shipper Index Factor (SIF) and summing the results. SIF scores for Carrier Partners are either 0.75, 1.00, or 1.25, and are provided on request. Partners who achieve a Logistics Score of 0.50 or greater qualify to use the SmartWay Transport Partner mark (logo). Partners that qualify to use the logo must adhere to EPA's SmartWay Graphics Standards and Use Guide as well as sign and return the Mark Signature Page before using the SmartWay Transport Partner mark. These materials are available from your Partner Account Manager. LOGISTICS PARTNER VALUE TO SHIPPERS SmartWay Shipper Partners receive credit toward their SmartWay Score by employing SmartWay Logistics Partners. Based on the Logistics Partner's FLEET model score, the Logistics Partner will be assigned an SIF. The SIF determines the amount of credit a Shipper receives for employing the Logistics Partner. The following table is used to determine your company's SIF. The higher the SIF, the more attractive the Logistics Partner will be to a SmartWay Shipper Partner. Logistics FLEET Model Score 0.0 to 0.30 0.31 to 0.49 0.50 or greater Shipper Index Factor (SIF) .75 1.00 1.25 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Transportation and Air Quality January 2008 EPA420-F-08 003 www.epa.gov/smartway ------- SmartWay Transport Partnership U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Partner* ••• Qualification Truck Stops Truck Stops SmartWay Truck Stops qualify to use the SmartWay mark (logo) when 50% or more of their truck parking spaces are properly demarcated, per the Partnership Agreement, as an "idle-free zone". Proper demarcation consists of latex, traffic, reflective paint surrounding the parking space and signs identifying the spaces. Partners that qualify to use the mark must adhere to EPA's SmartWay Graphics Standards and Use Guide as well as sign and return the Mark Signature Page before using the SmartWay Transport Partner mark. These materials are available from your Partner Account Manager.
