ATA’s Sustainability Plan
10-year commitment from entire industry to further reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions
Program includes 6 key pillars
Greening the Industry
Set national speed limit of 65 mph for all vehicles and govern truck speeds at 65 mph for trucks manufactured after 1992
Reduce congestion through highway improvements
Promote more productive truck combinations
Support truck fuel economy standards that are technologically and economically feasible
Decrease idling
Increase fuel efficiency through SmartWay
Since 2004, SmartWay Partners Saved…
51.6 million metric tons of CO2
738,000 tons NOx
37,000 tons PM
121 million barrels of oil 5 billion gallons of fuel
$17 billion dollars in fuel costs
ATA Supported EPA/NHTSA Phase I Rule
ATA was an original EPA SmartWay Charter Partner in 2004 when program was officially unveiled
Largely based upon EPA’s SmartWay program and industry practices
