“Continually improving the transportation experience of students to and from school is of the utmost importance to the Zonar team,” said H. Kevin Mest, senior vice president of passenger services at Zonar. “We look forward to working with the grant recipients to enhancing their school bus operations with our smart fleet technologies.”

The rolling grant opportunity has been made available annually to eligible NAPT members since 2011. It enables more school districts in the U.S. and Canada access to Zonar’s smart fleet technologies with inspection, tracking, and reporting capabilities that empower school districts to manage their bus fleet operations more effectively and keep students safe. The solutions include real-time insight into school bus fleets with live location reports, student ridership status and driver performance data. Additionally, the solutions verify that maintenance and inspections are in compliance, up-to-date by remotely detecting and flagging mechanical issues to significantly reduce performance problems and help eliminate breakdowns.

Grant recipients will be awarded smart fleet management technology from Zonar including Electronic Verified Inspection Reporting (EVIR) found on the Zonar 2010, 2020 and Zonar ConnectTM, Global Position System (GPS) V3, Real Time Engine Diagnostic Reporting, Student Tracking (Z Pass), and Ground Traffic Control web-based software.

Recipients of the grant are NAPT members that were selected based on their proposed plans with expected ROI for using Zonar’s Fleet Management Solutions.

"NAPT is excited to partner again with Zonar on this grant opportunity and we are pleased that this opportunity helps school districts become safer and more efficient," said Mike Martin, executive director, NAPT. "This opportunity affords members access to valuable tools to improve operations and keep them at the forefront of the industry's best practice technologies.”

To be considered as a future Don Carnahan Memorial Grant recipient, a school system must be an ongoing NAPT member as well as a member at the time the application is submitted. School systems currently using alternate technology that want to upgrade to Zonar are also encouraged to apply. Applications that include matching funds will be considered.

In addition to the Don Carnahan Memorial Grant, Zonar recognized the value of NAPT’s annual summit, and in an effort encourage its customers to attend, Zonar awards eligible Zonar customers with a scholarship to offset the cost of registration.
