     The 2015 SmartWay Excellence Awards program for shippers, logistics
     companies and freight carriers is a recognition program of the
     U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) SmartWay Transport
Partnership. SmartWay is a voluntary program that aims to reduce emissions
and foster the development of a clean and efficient freight supply chain.

Through the SmartWay Excellence Awards program, EPA recognizes leading
shippers, logistics companies and freight carriers that are optimizing the
environmental performance and efficiency of their freight operations, while
serving as role models for other businesses to follow. This year we are
recognizing si companies (nine shippers, two logistics companies, one barge
carrier and 39 truck carriers) with a 2015 SmartWay Excellence Award. This
represents about the top one percent of all SmartWay Partners.

The 2015 SmartWay awards recognition is based on partners demonstrating
superior performance using SmartWay's second generation environmental
assessment system for transportation supply chains. This enhanced system
includes a full suite of performance-based SmartWay tools and benchmarking
software that enable each SmartWay partner to complete a thorough
assessment of its goods  movement and freight activity. Partners also receive
a comprehensive and detailed report on their company's environmental
performance and efficiency.

EPA identified the top 2015 SmartWay Excellence Award winners from among
all shippers, logistics and carrier businesses that participate in SmartWay, are
partners in good standing and that provided prior-year performance data to
EPA using SmartWay tools.

Candidates in SmartWay's shipper and logistics management categories
were evaluated based on their impact, size and commitment to using high-
performing SmartWay freight carriers. In 2015, eligible shippers and logistics
companies were partners in good standing and used real world data to
complete their SmartWay shipper and logistics management tools. The selected
candidates achieved a superior level of environmental performance and the
highest level of efficiency within SmartWay by demonstrating that they ship
more goods per mile, more efficiently using higher performing SmartWay
carrier partners.

Candidates in SmartWay's freight carrier category were evaluated based on
their efficiency and environmental performance in moving products and
merchandise. In 2015, eligible carriers included large and medium-to-small
companies that are partners in good standing within key business sectors,
including: truckload, less-than-truckload, refrigerated, package, specialized,
  expedited, tanker, flatbed, mixed, dray, heavy haul, auto-carrier, moving,
   barge and multimodal freight operations. Within these respective fleet
     characterizations and based on their size, these carriers achieved a
      superior level of environmental performance and the highest level of
      efficiency within SmartWay by demonstrating that they carry more
        goods per ton-mile, using less fuel and emitting fewer greenhouse gas
        and air pollutant emissions.
