The grant assistance program is designed to help fleets in the pupil transportation, public transit, vocational, and commercial trucking industries identify, apply for, and manage grant funding, according to a news release from the smart fleet technology supplier.

• A team of grant and industry experts for one-on-one, customized projects that incorporate technology solutions.
