OverviewThe SmartWay Logistics, Multimodal, and Shipper Tools have an Outside Data Import function. This functionreduces the need to manually enter carrier activity data by allowing you to create a data file that containsyour company’s in-house carrier data in SmartWay’s prescribed data format.In response to companies that have had difficulty matching the carrier information in their databases with thedata that carriers submit to SmartWay, a carrier matching function was added previously that enablespartners to identify which of their current carriers are SmartWay Partners. This matching function can befound in the SmartWay Portal.Note that the Data Import functionality is only available in the Shipper Tool for partners participating at theWay 3 or Way 4 level and who specify Data Import as the Input Method in Step 5 on the Home screen.THE OUTSIDE DATA IMPORT FUNCTION IS RIGHT FOR YOU IF:you use a relatively large number of carriers (both SmartWay and/or non-SmartWay) and youhave an in-house data collection system that contains carrier activity data necessary topopulate your SmartWay Tool for submission to EPA.SmartWay Guide to Importing Carrier Data Using the Outside Data Import Function ǀ Overview 1
How the Data Import Function WorksThis function allows you to import data from your in-house data tracking systems directly into your Tool.To input your company’s carrier data into the Tool, you will create an Excel (XLSX) or Comma-SeparatedValues (CSV) file that meets certain basic SmartWay specifications, and merge that file with your in-housedata to produce a complete profile of your carriers’ activity.This file will be uploaded into the Tool and will save you the time of manually entering data to calculate youremissions footprint and/or percent SmartWay (% SmartWay).In addition to your carriers’ activity data, you may add company-specific carrier identification informationand/or carrier contact information into the file described in the previous section. You may now add up to 13extra fields of carrier identification information and 3 fields of carrier contact information to your file. The newfields include:Carrier name as it appears in your company’s system/databaseUp to three Internal Carrier ID codes from your company’s database systemSCACMCNDOTNSCStreet addressCityState / Province abbreviationZIP / Postal codePhone numberContact’s email addressContact’s correspondence namePreferred language of correspondenceIn future years this information will be available as additional match criteria in the SmartWay Partner Matchfunction accessible from the SmartWay Portal. These fields must be formatted in a specific way in order towork with the SmartWay tools and database; file preparation and format is described in the next section.SmartWay Guide to Importing Carrier Data Using the Outside Data Import Function ǀ How the Data Import Function Works 2

Preparing Your Carrier Data to Import into YourToolThere are six steps to preparing your XLSX or CSV file for import into the Tool.Step 1: Enter your company level dataStep 2: Open your Logistics Business Unit/Shipper Company and proceed to the Import/Exportscreens to create your FileStep 3: Populate the file with carrier data from your in-house computer systemsStep 4: Carrier matching (OPTIONAL) Step 4a: Populate the file with your company-specific carrier identification information Step 4b: Upload your Carrier file into the SmartWay Portal Step 4c. Export your matched carrier file from the SmartWay PortalStep 5: Import and validate your fileStep 6: Enter additional data into the ToolPlease note that due to the variability in Partner data systems, EPA does not have theresources to assist you in creating and importing this file. You should rely on your own inhouse IT/MIS computer staff.STEP 1: ENTER COMPANY LEVEL DATABefore you can import outside data, you must take these initial steps for completing your Tool:1.Enter your company name and contact information.2.Define your business unit(s) 1.3. Download the latest carrier data file.4,For the Shipper Tool only, select your Participation Level and Data Input Method.a.1You must select either the Way 3 or Way 4 participation level; data import is not available forpartners who select Way 2.Terminology varies with Tool: Logistics users define “business units”, and Shippers define “companies”.SmartWay Guide to Importing Carrier Data Using the Outside Data Import Function ǀ Preparing to Import your Data 4
b. You must select Data Import as the Input Method.5, When you have at least one business unit defined, you can then import carrier data for that businessunit.6.Double click on the business unit name on the Home screen.Once you have performed these five steps, you will be ready to use the Outside Data Import function.STEP 2: CREATE YOUR CARRIER FILEThere are three basic methods for creating your Carrier file:Option 1 — Export a Master File: This method can be used if you have a very large number ofSmartWay Carriers. With this approach, you generate an XLSX or CSV file complete with all currentSmartWay Carriers in the correct format (using the “Export Master File” button on the “Exportcarriers” tab). You can then open this file in Excel and delete any SmartWay Carriers you don’t use,and enter data regarding activity and other details related to how you use your carriers.Option 2 — Manually Build a Carrier File: This method is a good option if you have a smaller numberof carriers (e.g. 100 or fewer) that you can manually identify. In this approach, you manually selectcarriers in the Tool and then export an XLSX or CSV file (using the “Export Selected Carriers” buttonon the Export Carriers tab) that can then be populated with data from your in-house data system.Option 3 — Create a Carrier File from Scratch: If you have a large number of carriers (e.g., 100 ormore) you may choose to create your Carrier file from scratch using your in-house system. If youchoose this approach, the best way to ensure compatibility between your file and the Tool is toreview the example Carrier file. This will aid your IT staff in producing an XLSX or CSV file with thecorrect format.Once you have created a Carrier file, you can use the matching function to identify and match which of yourcarriers are SmartWay carriers. If this is the first reporting year you have used the matching function, you canmatch your carrier data with data SmartWay Carriers have submitted using identification fields you have inyour database, including the carrier’s address, phone number, SCAC code, MCN code, and/or DOT number.In future years you can match your carrier data with carrier data in SmartWay by including your own uniqueidentification data in the Carrier file. For example, if you have a unique Carrier ID for each of your carriers,include that in the Carrier file this year so that this information is stored in the SmartWay database. Then insubsequent years, when you include your unique identifier in the Carrier file, you can use the SmartWayPortal to find your carriers for the current reporting year. Your company-specific match data is not sharedwith other companies.The steps to use the new carrier matching function are:1.Create your Carrier XLSX or CSV fileSmartWay Guide to Importing Carrier Data Using the Outside Data Import Function ǀ Preparing to Import your Data 5

7.Delete any SmartWay Carriers that you did not use during the reporting year.8. Note that the first 19 rows in the master file represent non-SmartWay carriers. If you used any nonSmartWay carriers you must account for their combined mileage and/or ton-mileage in theappropriate non-SmartWay designation.9Save this modified file to your designated computer folder.10.Proceed to Step 3 on page 15 (“Populate the file with Carrier Data from Your In-house ComputerSystems”).Option 2: Manually Build A File1.Navigate to the Manual Input SmartWay Carriers tab:a.In the Logistics and Multimodal Tools, select the Manual Input SmartWay Carriers tab directly.Ol:Mr Input Optionsb.

An Introduction to and Strategies for Multimodal Composing. Melanie Gagich. Overview. This chapter introduces multimodal composing and offers five strategies for creating a multimodal text. The essay begins with a brief review of key terms associated with multimodal composing and provides definitions and examples of the five modes of communication.
Vision 2020 was developed with critical input from our partners, stakeholders and colleagues in the private sector, government, civil society and academia. As we reflect on the progress we've made through SmartWay over the last 10 years and share our collective vision for the future, we would like to express
