What is the PrePass Safety Alliance? 
The PrePass Safety Alliance, a nonprofit public-private partnership of state agencies and trucking industry leaders dedicated to creating safer, more efficient highways. The PrePass Safety Alliance is the organization responsible for operating PrePass. 

Trucking industry leaders, enforcement agencies, and state DOTs first formed the non-profit public-private partnership in 1993 to improve commercial transportation safety and efficiency. Since then, the Alliance has invested over $700 million to deploy truck safety services and infrastructure nationwide. 

How does PrePass work? 

PrePass operates using either a radio frequency identification (RFID) transponder mounted to the truck windshield or through the PrePass app on a mobile phone, tablet, or ELD. When a qualified PrePass-enrolled vehicle approaches an open weigh station, PrePass automatically verifies whether the vehicle is eligible to bypass. The system then delivers a signal — red for “pull in” or green for “bypass” signal to the transponder or the app in the vehicle’s cab. Based on that signal, the driver knows whether or not to pull into the station.  

Where is PrePass located? 

PrePass has been headquartered in the United States since 1993. 

What do drivers say about PrePass?
