The National School Transportation Association reminded members prior to the holidays that applications for $50,000 in technology grants from Zonar Systems are due by Dec. 31.
NSTA and Zonar sponsor the grant competition to contribute to the improved safety, effectiveness, and efficiency of the pupil transportation program in the United States and Canada. The funds are to implement state-of-the-art, best-practice fleet management technology to a contractor providing transportation services to a school system.
“This will equip another school transportation system in the United States or Canada with this unique inspect, track, know technology to provide management information about their school bus operation,” NSTA said in a statement.
Only school bus copmanies that are current NSTA members are eligible. Applications and more information are available on the NSTA website. Questions can be directed to info@yellowbuses.org.
