The Virginia DMV has announced that the first PrePass sites in the Commonwealth are now online. They are located on US 13/460 east- and westbound near Suffolk, VA, which are among the highest-volume truck inspection facilities in the state.

PrePass enables qualified motor carriers to comply electronically with state weight, safety and credential requirements at normal highway speeds. Carrier participation is strictly voluntary and participation is subject to strictly enforced state safety standards. Participating carriers pay a nominal fee for each successful bypass.

Carson NB & SB on I-95

Dumfries NB & SB on I-95

Sandston EB & WB on I-64

Troutville NB & SB on I-81
