      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 51 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.

     SMARTWAY SHIPPER & LOGISTICS COMPANY AWARDS
The 2015 SmartWay Excellence Awards for shippers and
logistics management companies honor partners that
are helping build a market for clean and efficient freight
transportation by shipping virtually all of their products
and merchandise (98 % of miles or ton-miles for shippers
and 80% of miles or ton-miles for logistics partners) with
high-performing SmartWay carriers. SmartWay shipper
and logistics Award winners also were selected based on
achieving superior environmental and efficiency benchmarks
among all other SmartWay partners. These performance
benchmarks for shippers and logistics partners were derived
through an assessment of their carriers' carbon dioxide
(C02), particulate matter (PM), and nitrogen oxide (NOx)
emissions measured in grams per mile.
