Global trade has a net positive effect on the world economy. However, associated freight transportation produces adverse impacts on the environment and public health.

To address these trends and challenges, EPA developed the SmartWay. Freight shippers, carriers, logistics companies and other stakeholders partner with EPA to measure, benchmark and improve logistics operations so they can reduce their environmental footprint.

U.S. Multimodal Group is a proud Transport Partner with SmartWay contributing to the Partnership’s savings of 312 million barrels of oil, $41.8 billion on fuel costs, 133 metric tons of CO2, 2.6 million tons of NOx and 109 million tons of PM.

This is equivalent to eliminating annual energy use in over 20 million homes.
