Weigh Station Congestion and Traffic Safety

MAKING THE HIGHWAYS SAFER

HELP Inc., is committed to improving highway safety for everyone. Not all motor carriers are eligible to participate in the PrePass program. Only carriers with a history of safe operations are eligible to take advantage of the many benefits PrePass has to offer. To reward customers with a history of safe operations and help states focus enforcement efforts on carriers likely to need enforcement, HELP has worked with member states to develop bypass eligibility criteria that is used to determine bypass frequencies and random pull-in rates for PrePass-equipped vehicles.

Vehicles participating in the PrePass program are pre-certified. Customers™ safety records and credentials are routinely verified with state & federal agencies to ensure adherence to the safety and bypass criteria established by HELP and member states.

By reducing congestion around inspection facilities and enabling state inspection staff to focus their efforts on carriers that demand the most attention, the PrePass system helps make the roadways safer for everyone.

"PrePass will improve highway safety by decreasing the number of commercial vehicles exiting and entering the interstate highways fromour scale facilities. The opportunity for crashes also decreases."
