PrePass is provided at no cost to the state and without a long-term commitment. Carriers that voluntarily participate pay system deployment and maintenance costs through monthly fees. Upon authorization, PrePass can usually be deployed in 90 days. PrePass is a turnkey solution that requires no state development or maintenance.

The system employs solid technology that guarantees correct signaling and reliability, and also maximizes the value of our nation’s huge investments in its existing infrastructure. PrePass success would not be possible without the participation of member states.
