What is a SmartWay Affiliate?

Key Resources for Affiliates

While organizations that ship, carry or manage freight can become SmartWay Partners, organizations that do not control freight can still participate in SmartWay as SmartWay Affiliates.

SmartWay Affiliates are organizations that agree to educate and support their members' efforts to improve freight sustainability.

Here are some of the ways that SmartWay Affiliates help advance sustainability within the freight sector:

  • Industry Associations and environmental organizations educate members about the SmartWay program and supply chain sustainability.
  • Truck and trailer leasing companies and dealers promote and lease/sell EPA-designated SmartWay Tractors or Trailers and SmartWay-verified technologies.
  • Academic institutions promote freight efficiency as part of their campus environmental initiatives.
  • Municipal and other government agencies educate new and existing businesses about the importance of fuel efficiency in their communities.

Benefits of Becoming a SmartWay Affiliate

  • Bring value to your stakeholders via education, webinars, best practices, and technical support.
