Don Carnhan, VP of business development for Zonar and the president elect of NAPT, awarded the funds during the NSTA Midwinter Meeting held in Wailea, Hawaii. Zonar announced last year that it was partnering with NSTA to fund enhanced school bus technology such as GPS and RFID readers for private bus companies, similar to an ongoing grant program it sponsors with NAPT.

“This will keep students protected,” said Kevin Clifford, president of Huntington Coach. “Safety is our top priority.

Brendan Clifford, vice president of operations for Huntington Coach, accepted the award at the NSTA annual midwinter event. The company operates more than 900 school buses out of five yards located in Huntington Station, Northport, Bayville and Manhasset.

“Huntington Coach put forth an excellent proposal,” added Carnahan. “Zonar is confident about awarding this grant to a company who runs a high-quality operation with an outstanding reputation.”
