Truckload and logistics service provider Tri-National, Inc., operates through the central corridor of the United States, as well as Canada and Mexico. As evidence of the company’s commitment to supply chain sustainability, Tri-National, Inc., is a SmartWay Transport Partner. In 2004, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created the SmartWay program with the intention of improving freight transportation sustainability. Based on recommendations from the community, the EPA developed a plan for keeping up with the industry’s future changes. Known as SmartWay Vision 2020, this plan focuses on the following four elements: Total Coverage of the Transportation Supply Chain As part of its efforts to reduce worldwide freight emissions, SmartWay plans on developing its monitoring tools and emissions assessments to cover all modes of transport, including barge, air, truck, and marine. Further, the program hopes to increase its reach and streamline freight data. Better Global Collaboration Other regions and countries addressing freight emissions use SmartWay as a template for their own partnership-based program. In the future, SmartWay will continue increasing awareness of how freight impacts the environment and how to minimize environmental damage. Sustainability Reporting Emissions accounting tools offered by SmartWay are based on EPA standards and peer-reviewed methodologies. This ensures the performance data generated by the tools provide companies with an accurate idea of the emissions created by their fleet. Sharing Information SmartWay is committed to being a neutral platform for sharing information about the freight industry. To this end, the program will increase the number of case studies, partner profiles, peer reviews, and webinars it makes available to professionals.
