Bestpass has expanded coverage of its toll management solution to South Carolina for the commercial fleets that use it, the Albany, N.Y.-based company announced.

Bestpass has added the Southern Connector Toll Road (Interstate 185) to its network to cover the 16-mile highway that carries traffic through Greenville County in upstate South Carolina.

"The Southern Connector is one of the most convenient routes in the region, and as a result, we see a significant amount of commercial traffic," said Pete Femia, president of the Southern Connector. "Partnering with Bestpass makes sound business sense. We know that they will take care of our commercial users, and we can focus our attention on other priorities."

Bestpass has been testing coverage on the Southern Connector with several customers, and expects to offer full coverage in April.

"We were able to directly integrate with the Southern Connector's back office, which allows us to move payments and toll data in a streamlined process that significantly benefits both the tolling authority and our thousands of customers that use the highway," said John Andrews, president and CEO of Bestpass.

Bestpass has also launched Empower, a new reporting and analytics platform in its customer web portal. Empower uses raw tolling data and helps users visualize toll charges over time, violation occurrences, toll usage by authority, and high plate toll vehicles.

Empower will be fully available by the end of June.
