PrePass Expands Bypass App in Missouri

PrePass Safety Alliance completed expansion of its weigh station bypass mobile application to 19 locations operated by the Missouri Department of Transportation.

The PrePass app gives qualified carriers the option to expand bypass opportunities using iOS, Android and select telematics devices, with or without the PrePass transponder. The new PrePass mobile app sites in Missouri are:

• Bloomsdale, SB I-55
• Caruthersville, WB I-155
• Charleston, SB I-57
• Eagleville, SB I-35
• Foristell, WB & EB I-70
• Harrisonville, SB US 71
• Joplin, WB & EB I-44
• Kearney, NB I-35
• Mayview, WB & EB I-70
• Platte City, NB I-29
• St. Clair, WB & EB I-44
• Steele, NB I-55
• Watson, SB I-29

In addition, the app notifies drivers of upcoming road hazards through PrePass Alerts – a feature only on the app, not available via transponder. The Alerts feature sends drivers notifications of work zones, available truck parking, gusty wind areas, rest areas, steep grades, brake check areas, chain up areas, runaway truck ramps, and no commercial vehicle roads.

“PrePass Safety Alliance is proud to partner with the state of Missouri on new technologies like the PrePass bypass app that help safe drivers efficiently move freight at highway speeds, while allowing officials to focus on other commercial vehicles that need the most attention,” said Mark Doughty, PrePass Safety Alliance president and chief executive officer, in a press release.
