Transportation

Today’s trucking industry faces significant challenges. They reflect the changing profile of shipping, which affects the drivers who make a living transporting goods. In times of change, new processes, efficiencies and technologies can have a dramatic impact.

With more than 420,000 trucks enrolled in our 28-state PrePass program, we’re delivering new processes, efficiencies and technologies. PrePass verifies truck weights and credentials while motor carriers travel at highway speeds. That allows pre-credentialed safe carriers to bypass inspection stations. It saves time, money and nearly 30 million gallons of fuel per year. Plus, participating states can reallocate inspection staff to address other critical highway safety concerns.

Regardless of rising fuel costs and environmental worries, U.S. drivers continue to clog the nation’s highways – leading to routine backups and major delays.

We help cut through congestion with Electronic Toll Collection (ETC). In fact, we process one-half of all ETC in the U.S. We support all aspects of ETC operations.

We also provide lane integration solutions such as Open Road Tolling (ORT), which allows drivers to pay tolls at highway speeds. Our affordable solutions can increase your revenue while:

• Meeting your unique toll collection needs
• Helping reduce inefficiencies, congestion and pollution
• Managing congestion at transportation hubs such as seaports
• Minimizing time that trucks spend idling while waiting to offload cargo.

Every year, state administrators face daunting challenges in providing motor vehicle services. For customer-facing services, the public demands better services delivered in a friendly and expedient manner. For back-office services such as tax collection and apportionment, you’re expected to do more with less. That’s while also trying to increase revenues and shore up a diminished budget.

Our comprehensive services efficiently process and track fuel taxes and registrations across states. Our service centers for DMVs handle vehicle registration, titling, driver licensing and permit issuance.

Many of our staff are former state employees with direct experience tracking motor fuels, title and registration, and other DMV functions. With this expertise, we better understand your challenges. Which means we can develop custom features and program enhancements to save you both time and money.

On-street parking services are both a challenge and an opportunity for city governments. How do you improve your services? Can you streamline customer service with convenient payment options such as Web and phone interfaces? Can you boost revenue collections with new devices for ticket issuance and more-effective ticket collections programs?

Who can do all this? We can, combining multiple functions into a single responsibility center for improved performance. Let us help you increase both efficiency and revenue – and free your police and courts to focus on core criminal matters.

The best off-street parking solutions are seamless and convenient for both the motorist and the managing entity. What’s needed are robust and reliable products, competent project management, and comprehensive service and support.

For over 25 years, we’ve delivered just that to the world’s busiest airports, hospitals, universities and municipalities. We have a proven track record of thousands of off-street parking installations around the world.

Public safety is a major concern for most communities – especially as populations grow while budgets are cut. One way to help make streets safer while reducing workload is a well-run photo red light or speed enforcement program.

Photo enforcement solutions can reduce collisions while generating needed revenue through violator fines and fees. More than 300 jurisdictions around the U.S. have speed or traffic light programs operating today. Studies show that traffic light cameras offer a significant deterrent while reducing violations by up to 50 percent.

At ACS, our photo enforcement solutions include traffic light, speed, work zone, school zone and railroad crossing enforcement. Each is built on our expertise as an integrator. And each is supported by our superior back-end violations processing systems.

The bottom line: Our customized solutions provide peace of mind for your residents and increased revenue and resource availability for your municipality.
