Performance Scores Guide
These scores indicate the relative fuel efficiency and environmental performance of our Carrier and Logistics partners. SmartWay Truck Carrier and Logistics Company Partners can and do improve their score by adopting various fuel-efficiency and emission control technologies, policies, and strategies for their fleets.
About The Scores
All SmartWay Partners are recognized for their commitment to reducing emissions in their fleets. Higher scores make companies more attractive to a prospective Shipper Partner.
- 1.25: A score of 1.25 represents outstanding environmental performance. These Partners already are utilizing most of the commercially available fuel saving strategies and are actively evaluating the latest emerging technologies. Partners with scores of 1.25 are awarded the honor of displaying the SmartWay Transport Partner logo, EPA's symbol for superior fuel efficiency and environmental performance.
- 1.00: A score of 1.00 represents very good environmental performance and is above the industry standard. By utilizing additional technologies and fuel saving practices, these Partners hope to raise their scores to 1.25 to join the industry benchmark leaders.
- 0.75: A score of 0.75 represents good environmental performance. This is the most common Partner score. Since all SmartWay Partners are committed to improving their environmental performance, all Partners, regardless of their score, are going above and beyond freight companies not participating in SmartWay.
- 0.00: The meaning of a score of 0.00 is not reflective of environmental performance. Rather, this score simply indicates that the Partner is behind schedule in submitting required materials. SmartWay Partners commit to provide certain timely information that is essential to SmartWay’s ability to calculate SIF scores that are both current and accurate. Once the Partner submits required materials, it will receive the appropriate SIF score for which it qualifies.
