The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted a request to renew its SmartWay Transport Partnership program to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The program, under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, aims to improve energy efficiency and reduce air pollution in the freight industry. Public feedback is being invited for an additional 30 days, and the EPA will continue to collect information from organizations involved with SmartWay to monitor and enhance their environmental performance. The goal is to support freight companies and other related entities in lowering fuel consumption and improving air quality.
Simple Explanation
The EPA wants to keep a program going that helps big trucks and shipping companies use less fuel and make the air cleaner. They are asking people to share their thoughts on this plan for another 30 days.
