Partnership

PrePass has partnered with NORPASS in a cooperative agreement between Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Greenlight system, and HELP Inc., the provider of PrePass services, allowing the PrePass transponders to be used in the NORPASS system.
