Bluegrass Dedicated Renews with the U.S. EPA SmartWay Transport Partnership

Bluegrass Dedicated announced that it has submitted and received approval for their current data submission to the SmartWay® Transport Partnership, an innovative collaboration between U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and industry. The SmartWay Transport Partnership provides a framework to assess the environmental and energy efficiency of goods movement supply chains.

Bluegrass Dedicated will continue to contribute to the Partnership’s savings of 379 million barrels of oil, $52 billion on fuel costs and 162 million metric tons of CO2, 2.8 million short tons of NOx and 114,000 short tons of PM. This is the equivalent of the annual electricity use in 24 million homes. By joining SmartWay Transport Partnership, Bluegrass Dedicated demonstrates its strong environmental leadership and corporate responsibility.

“We are committed to harmonizing efficiency and sustainability in transportation. As we join forces with SmartWay Transport Partnership, our mission resonates with the passion to reduce emissions and enhance fuel efficiency. We look forward to playing our part in achieving these shared objectives and orchestrating a future where every mile contributes to a greener, smarter tomorrow”, said Paul Withrow, President of Bluegrass Dedicated.

Developed jointly in early 2003 by EPA and Charter Partners represented by industry stakeholders, environmental groups, American Trucking Associations, and Business for Social Responsibility, this innovative program celebrated its 10 year anniversary in 2014. Partners rely upon SmartWay tools and approaches to track and reduce emissions and fuel use from goods movement. The Partnership currently has nearly 4,000 Partners including shipper, logistics companies, truck, rail, barge, and multimodal carriers.
