What is StraitPASS
The StraitPASS[2], a transponder (tag), is an automatic post-pay toll collection system linked to a user’s credit card. It eliminates the direct use of cash, credit cards, certified cheques, money orders or gift certificates by utilizing a transponder mounted in the windshield to identify vehicles and authorize payment of the toll as a credit card transaction.
Refer to the StraitPASS page for more details on its benefits, how to get one, how to install it and more.
