This paper will describe innovations in British Columbia and Alberta to facilitate necessary inspection and monitoring of commercial vehicle activity, while maintaining an efficient transport system. The Britsih Columbia Green Light Transponder Corridor is a 5 station commercial vehicle bypass system. This transponder based system is designed to bypass compliant commercial vehicles for a 12-hour period so cross-province long-haul trucks do not need to be rechecked at all 4 subsequent stations. In Alberta, the Commercial Vehicle Pre-Clearance System is also a transponder based bypass system deployed at 12 weigh stations across the province. Partners in Compliance (PIC) carriers with excellent safety and inspection records are able to bypass at any of the 12 stations. For the covering abstract ofthis conference see ITRD number E216597.
