SmartWay - Sustainable Transportation
It’s a great day to be at WBT! Why? Well, we have been awarded another year as a U.S. EPA SmartWay Certified Carrier.
By 2025, as international commerce increases and supply chains become more global and complex, shipments of U.S. goods will grow another 23.5 percent, and by 2040, a total of 45 percent.
As freight activity in the United States increases, projections are that during this same time frame, growth in air emissions from freight will exceed growth in emissions from all other transportation activities, including passenger transportation.
Companies involved in production, distribution, and transportation of goods can make a difference. The business community can reduce the risks we will face from air pollution and health effects caused by freight transportation. By measuring, benchmarking, and assessing freight transportation activities and strategically making better choices that reduce emission, companies can make a significant impact on the contribution of freight to cleaner air.
Businesses that participate in EPA’s SmartWay program are leading the world in reducing these impacts and making freight transportation more sustainable.
