NCTCOG Receives Recognition as a SmartWay Affiliate for 2019 Earth Day! 

NCTCOG has been an affiliate in the EPA SmartWay Transport Program since 2006.  NCTCOG promotes and distributes EPA SmartWay information and resources through www.nctcog.org/smartway, monthly email newsletters, and outreach events throughout the year. 

NCTCOG is dedicated to the promoting SmartWay initiatives within the region and encouraging local freight fleets to join the SmartWay program and improve environmental performance. 

Beginning August 2017, EPA SmartWay decided to change their approach on outreach and asked affiliates to share SmartWay articles and resources to our regional groups and stakeholders through newsletters, websites, and social media related to a monthly theme.  After the annual Earth Day event in April 2019, NCTCOG was recognized by EPA SmartWay for continuing our support for the program by sharing information about efficient freight transportation with our participating groups and stakeholders.
