Reddaway Recognized by EPA for Commitment to Improving the Environment
March 04 2015 - 11:00AM
(Nasdaq:YRCW) – Reddaway has been recognized by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-administered SmartWay®
Transport Partnership for ranking in the top tier of carbon
efficiency among trucking firms. The SmartWay® program was created
in 2004 to improve fuel efficiency and environmental performance of
transportation organizations. Earning this recognition confirms
Reddaway's success in its efforts to create a more
environmentally-friendly operation and fleet.
"Safety and service to our customers are Reddaway's top
priorities. We know it's possible to achieve high marks in those
areas while also doing our part to improve the environment," said
Reddaway President and CEO, T.J. O'Connor. "Through our ongoing
investment in cleaner-running power units, including a strong
maintenance program to keep our equipment in top operating shape,
and fuel-efficient driver practices, we have been able to reduce
our emissions to lower levels. I thank the Reddaway employees who
played a part in earning this designation. Every member of Team
Reddaway can feel proud knowing we are among the very best trucking
organizations when it comes to providing environmentally-friendly
freight transportation."
The SmartWay® Program is a public-private initiative between the
EPA, large and small trucking companies, rail carriers, logistics
companies, commercial manufacturers, retailers and other federal
and state agencies. Its purpose is to improve fuel efficiency and
the environmental performance (reducing both greenhouse gas
emissions and air pollution) of the goods-movement supply
chains.
SmartWay® ranks carriers based on these performance metrics:
grams per mile and grams per ton-mile for carbon dioxide, nitrogen
oxide and particulate matter. Reddaway was ranked in the top 20%
performance range of all freight companies within its SmartWay®
category.
