PrePass is a sophisticated technology that enables qualified motor carriers to comply electronically with state-established weight, safety and credential requirements and “bypass” these facilities at highway speed.   

“We are delighted to welcome Delaware to the PrePass system,” said Richard P. Landis, president and CEO of HELP, Inc. the public-private partnership that offers PrePass.

By eliminating weigh station stops and idling in queues, participating motor carriers save time, fuel and reduce related greenhouse gases.  Since its inception in 1995, PrePass has electronically processed more than 345 million weigh station events, saving carriers in excess of 138 million gallons of fuel.  Based on EPA estimates, those fuel savings have reduced emissions by more than 304 thousand metric tons.

PrePass Plus is fully-interoperable with the E-ZPass electronic toll system deployed throughout the Northeastern U.S. affording motor carriers the convenience of one account and one in-cab transponder for both weigh station compliance and electronic toll payments.

Landis added, “By using PrePass, Delaware truck inspectors will be able to focus on those carriers most likely to be deficient in their compliance with safety regulations.
