(- 2019 Excellence Award bmartway Leadership Highlights U.S. Environmental Protection Agency^ 1 ** ** The 2019 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, market-driven partnership that aims to reduce emissions and fosters the development of a cleaner and more efficient freight supply chain. Through the SmartWay Excellence Award 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 72 companies (thirteen shippers, four logistics companies, five multi-modal and fifty truck carriers) with a 2019 SmartWay Excellence Award. This represents about the top one to two percent of all SmartWay Partners. The 2019 SmartWay Award 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 set of comprehensive and detailed reports on their company's environmental performance and operational efficiency. EPA identified the top 2019 SmartWay Excellence Award recipients 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 2019, 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 2019, 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, 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 Award winners within the carrier category can include companies that operate one or more of following 15 fleet types: truckload, less-than-truckload, refrigerated, package, specialized, expedited, tanker, flatbed, mixed, dray, heavy-haul, auto-carrier, moving, barge and multimodal. SmartWay carrier Award winners were selected using environmental and efficiency benchmarks that included CO2, PM and NOx emissions measured in grams per ton-mile. These benchmarks were unique to each of the fifteen fleet types characterized by SmartWay. Fleet size and impactwere other factors considered. SmartWay's 2019 carrier Award winners represent large, medium and small fleets, as defined by the number of miles traveled. Carriers with miles traveled greater than or equal to one percent (five percent for multimodal) of the total number of miles traveled by all SmartWay Partners falling within the same fleet type are large carriers. Carriers with miles trav- eled that are less than one percent (five percent for multimodal) of the total miles traveled by all SmartWay partners falling in the same fleet type are medium and small carriers. Within the carrier category, EPA proudly recognizes five multimodal carriers and 50 truck carriers as recipients of the 2019 SmartWay Excellence Award. These high-performing carriers are being recognized for their achievement in finding ways to move more goods, more ton-miles, using less fuel and emitting fewer emissions. They are SmartWay's top performing carrier partners and include large, medium and small carriers that serve as role models for other businesses to follow. This year, two truck carriers (Swift Transportation Co., and Werner Enterprises) had recognition in multiple fleet categories; Swift in refrigerated and truckload dry van, and Werner in drayage, flatbed and truckload dry van. Different divisions of CRST are also being recognized: CRST Dedicated Services, Inc. and CRST Expedited, Inc. One Partner, Meijer, is recognized both as a shipper and as a carrier (Meijer Logistics). Carrier Award winners EPA selected these 50 SmartWay truck carrier and five multimodal Award winners because they are the top environmental performers in their individual categories.
