PrePass is an intelligent transportation system (ITS) that electronically verifies the safety, credentials, and weight of commercial vehicles as they approach participating state highway weigh stations. Because they comply electronically, commercial carriers enrolled in PrePass are authorized to bypass these facilities rather than pull in for manual inspection. PrePass is available to motor carriers at nearly 390 facilities in 39 states. In 1991 the Crescent Project began as a collaborative research effort to test technologies to weigh trucks at highway speeds and allow compliant trucks to bypass weigh stations. This would aid productivity and efficiencies for motor carriers and enforcement and compliance agencies. After testing several technologies Radio Frequency Identification Detection (RFID) was chosen. In 1993 the non-profit Heavy-Vehicle Electronic License Plate, Inc. (HELP) was formed by several state transportation directors and trucking company executives and Lockheed Martin was contracted to develop a system. In 1995 PrePass was installed in California. By 1998 PrePass was in use in 35 weigh stations in Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Wyoming. 850 companies had signed on with transponders in 55,000 trucks.
