PrePass, a new technology that enables qualified motor carriers to comply electronically with state safety and credential requirements at highway speeds, has opened 11 new sites
over the last two months, bringing their total operational sites to 215 in 24 states.
In Missouri, the new sites include: Mayview, east and westbound on I-70 near Blue Springs; St. Clair, westbound on I-44 near Union; Foristell, east and westbound on I-70; Harrisonville, southbound on US71; Kearney, northbound on I-35; Platte City, northbound I-29; and St Clair, eastbound I-44.
Other new sites include Menomonee, Wis., westbound on I-94 near Eau Claire; and Calexico, Calif., northbound on SR-111 near the Mexican border
Motor carriers participation is strictly voluntary and carrier eligibility is subject to state safety qualification standards. Participating carriers pay a nominal fee for each successful bypass.
"We are delighted to announce the latest PrePass sites," said Richard P. Landis, president and CEO of HELP Inc., the PrePass system provider. "The rapid addition of these new sites moves us one step closer to seamless coast-to-coast service while saving carriers time and improving highway safety."
ACS is the system integrator and operator of the PrePass system. ACS provides business process and information technology outsourcing solutions to commercial and government clients worldwide, including more than 230 state and local government clients through its State and Local Solutions unit.
Launched in California in 1995, PrePass is operational at 215 locations with an additional 48 sites committed. Twenty-four states have deployed -- or committed to deploy -- PrePass. Those states include Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
