“We’re proud to be long time partners with Zonar because we know the impact of how technology can help improve student safety while on the road,” said Tiffany Boykin, executive director of NSTA. “The NSTA and Zonar recognize the financial challenges school bus contractors face in their efforts equip their fleets with the leading edge technology systems, which is why we are committed to supporting this initiative in student safety.”

The Zonar and NSTA Don Carnahan Memorial Grant gives school bus contractors the opportunity to utilize Zonar’s industry-leading smart fleet management technology to provide information that effectively manages school bus operations. Grant recipients will receive fleet management technology including but not limited to: Electronic Verified Inspection Reporting (EVIR®), high-definition GPS fleet tracking with live delivery of vehicle performance, subsystem and diagnostic information in one simple-to-install device (V3™), student tracking (Z Pass™), Ground Traffic Control (GTC) web-based software and Coach.

“We know that NSTA members understand the value of having leading edge solutions to advance student safety and reduce business costs for the schools they serve," said H. Kevin Mest, senior vice president of business development for Zonar. "Our first priority at Zonar has always been the safety of passengers – especially students, which is why I was eager to serve as Vice Chair of the NSTA Safety & Security Committee this year.”

The NSTA Safety & Security Committee aims to help members safely deliver students each day by providing safety best practices and helping them navigate through legislative changes impacting safety. The committee is also responsible for the planning and execution of the School Bus Driver International Safety Competition and for providing input to the government relations committee on issues impacting safety.
