• Maintaining emergency preparedness to reduce potential impacts on the environment from day-to-day transportation operations.
• Compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations.
• Line-haul network optimization to reduce the amount of miles driven.

OnTrac is a SmartWay® Transport Partner

OnTrac is proud to be a part of the SmartWay® Transport Partnership, an innovative collaboration with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). SmartWay is a voluntary program developed by the EPA for improving fuel efficiency and reducing greenhouse gasses. Since 2004, actions taken by SmartWay Transport Partners have saved over 120 million barrels of oil, the equivalent of taking 10 million cars off the road for an entire year!

This partnership gives us insight into the industry and provides a framework to assess the environmental and energy efficiency of goods moving through our network.
