NextMove by Cintra, a Ferrovial company, recently extended its NextPass toll management platform to support Highway 407 ETR near Toronto.
The toll payment option covers toll roads and managed lanes in the U.S. and Canada.
NextPass delivers a toll payment experience without a transponder, creating more convenience for drivers.
"Fleets and consumers have long been frustrated by having to juggle transponders and figure out how to pay for tolls when moving across regions or countries," said Brad Wright, CEO of NextMove by Cintra, in a May 14 news release. "In partnership with 407 ETR, we've been able to remove complexity and make tolling easier and interoperable for millions of vehicles that move between both countries."
"We have been using NextPass for several months, and have been impressed with their transparency, level of service, and our reduction in operational cycles," said Ben Stoner, CFO of GSP Transportation, Inc., a rental car operator in South Carolina. "Once our vehicles are rented, we have no control over where they go. NextPass ensures that tolls are covered, and we don't have to deal with tolling notices and fees,” he said in the news release.
"NextPass can help out-of-province and U.S. drivers who want an easy, near real-time billing option when traveling to Toronto and for Canadians traveling across the U.S.," added Jose Espinosa, president and CEO of 407 ETR.
- Fleets can sign up for NextPass by registering at NextPass.io/fleets, where they can bulk upload vehicles and receive access to transparent reporting, including details around toll trips by vehicle, day, and the toll segment.
