Do I need a separate transponder for NC?

Typically no, we can enroll NORPASS or BESTPASS Transponders into the program after you

have been approved for participation by the state. PrePass will enroll any compatible transponder in the PrePass system. Compatible devices are available from NCPass, Norpass and BestPass. Feel free to call the PrePass service center at 1-800-PrePass for more information.

 

What is the Cost?

The maximum cost is $70 per year, per truck if you need a transponder. If you have a

compatible transponder the annual fee for NCPass is $56 per truck. There are various discounts

available that can reduce the annual cost to less than $40 per truck.

 

How do I know if I qualify?

A carrier will typically qualify unless they have a Conditional or Unsatisfactory safety rating

issued by the FMCSA. Bypass rates are determined using information from SAFER and can be

up to 90%. The NC State Highway Patrol reviews all enrollments and makes final approval

decisions.

 

Can I pay tolls with a NCPass transponder?

Not at this time but we can work with BESTPASS (www.bestpass.com) to get you in a program

to pay tolls and participate in preclearance programs with one transponder.

How long does enrollment take?

Once you submit all of the necessary information you will typically be entered in the system

within a few days and be eligible for bypasses once you have a transponder.

 

Are the transponders specific to the vehicles?

Yes, the transponders cannot be used in multiple vehicles without notification to the program

Administrator (IRD) or your sales representative.
