Nearly 50 Bestpass employees, customers, and partners participate in Tour de Cure
We recently raised $7,926.00 for the American Diabetes Association (ADA) to give back to the community while also encouraging healthy activity.
The Bestpass Tour de Cure team included 48 employees, customers, and partners from around the country. Three team members raised more than $1,000 to become Champions to Stop Diabetes.
“We’re extremely grateful for the amazing support from the Bestpass team, not only for their effort in raising crucial funds, but for raising awareness around the importance of being active as well,” said Jeff Collins, executive director, ADA Upstate New York.
The initiative was spearheaded by Bestpass Gives, an employee-led committee within the company that is responsible for identifying opportunities to contribute to the community in a meaningful way while also building relationships across functional teams. The committee identified raising awareness of diabetes as its focus for the second quarter of 2021.
“I’m so pleased by all of the efforts by the Bestpass family to impact our communities for the better. We fielded a passionate, committed team to participate in the Tour de Cure this year, which enabled us to exceed our fundraising goal for the ADA Upstate New York chapter,” said Tom Fogarty, CEO of Bestpass. “I am thankful to the ADA for the opportunity to work towards a healthier world, and Bestpass salutes the inspired efforts of our employees, customers, and partners in coming together for this awesome cause.”
Bestpass Expands Toll Coverage to Alabama

Bestpass integrates toll management and payment technology with American Roads
Bestpass recently announced that the company has expanded its nationwide toll coverage network to Alabama through a partnership with American Roads.
Bestpass will offer its customers Alabama coverage on the Tuscaloosa Bypass, Emerald Mountain Express, and Montgomery Express through its 6C protocol toll transponders. All four toll bridges are owned and operated by American Roads.
“We’re looking forward to a direct line of data transfer with Bestpass, from vehicle information to payment processing, and we anticipate that the integration will result in a significantly positive impact on our operations,” said Neal Belitsky, CFM, CEO of American Roads. “This is another example of how we can provide value to the commercial fleets using our facilities to deliver goods and provide services throughout Alabama and beyond.”
In September 2019, Bestpass announced that it had reached an agreement to register its 6C transponders with the Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) for use by commercial fleets on The Toll Roads in Orange County, Calif. Bestpass offers a variety of national and regional transponder and coverage options for its commercial fleet customers, which operate hundreds of thousands of vehicles across North America.
“The emerging 6C protocol allowed us to provide our customers with toll interoperability throughout California, and this partnership with American Roads allows us to expand our 6C coverage to Alabama,” said John Andrews, president and chief strategy officer for Bestpass. “We work with all toll protocols to ensure that our customers have the best possible toll management program, including our Complete Pass Scout device, which offers coast-to-coast coverage.”
