PrePass, LLC is a non-profit public-private partnership founded in 1993 that develops and operates intelligent transportation systems and commercial vehicle compliance services across the United States. Its board holds equal representation from trucking industry leaders, state Departments of Transportation, and enforcement agencies - a structure that reflects its role as a neutral coordinator among stakeholders who might otherwise have competing interests.
The company's core product is a weigh-station bypass service that allows pre-screened, compliant commercial vehicles to pass weigh stations without stopping. To date, it has enabled more than one billion successful bypasses. PrePass also provides toll payment services, electronic screening (e-screening), and Level VIII electronic inspections. On the infrastructure side, it has deployed over $700 million in intelligent transportation systems at no cost to states - funding that comes from net proceeds, which are reinvested directly into infrastructure development, product innovation, and collaborative programmes rather than distributed as profit.
The technical domains spanning PrePass's work include:
- Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) design and deployment
- Weigh-station bypass and e-screening platforms
- Commercial vehicle compliance and enforcement data systems
- Toll payment systems for commercial fleets
- Data-driven inspection solutions, including Level VIII inspections
Operating at the intersection of freight, government, and highway infrastructure, PrePass works with state DOTs, enforcement agencies, and commercial fleet operators. Its mission-driven, reinvestment model means that engineering and technology work at the company feeds directly into public infrastructure used on U.S. highways.
