SEATTLE — Zonar is making available to customers a grant assistance program provided by Learn, Design, Apply Inc. — a grant funding manager serving the private, nonprofit, and public sectors.
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.
The program offers a solution for customers who are interested in identifying available funding but may not have the time to research and apply for grants or have grant-writing expertise.

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