Zonar, provider of smart fleet technology, now offers a grant assistance program provided by Learn, Design, Apply Inc. 

The Zonar grant assistance program will help fleets throughout vocational, pupil, mass transit, and commercial trucking industries identify, secure, apply for, and manage grant funding to enhance the safety, performance, and success of their fleets.

"The idea of finding and applying for monetary grant assistance to further your technology goals is time-consuming and overwhelming regardless of whether you’re in the private, non-profit, or public sectors,” said Matt Hultman, vice president of sales at Zonar. “That’s why Zonar is providing its grant assistance program. We believe that fleets striving to implement technology that delivers safety and efficiency solutions to their operations should have access to every resource available to them."

Fleet managers and transportation directors work long hours and are often on call 24/7. Taking the time to research and apply for a grant is valuable time that is not always available to them. Quite often, it takes considerable effort and countless hours to simply identify an eligible grant worth pursuing. Then extensive dedicated resources are required to begin the arduous process of putting together the grant application.

The grant-writing expertise that is needed and the time required in order to secure grant funds can make it an easy decision for fleet operators to pass on these types of opportunities. However, with the Zonar grant assistance program, fleets interested in identifying funds to help them acquire the latest in smart fleet technology can leverage Learn, Design Apply Inc.

With 50 years of combined experience in grant management, writing and program development Learn, Design Apply Inc. is equipped to manage the process from identification through funding and ongoing management.

“We understand that not everyone has access to the funds and resources they would like to incorporate into their businesses,” said Andrew Henshaw, vice president of business development for Learn Design Apply, Inc. “The grant assistance program we’re providing to Zonar customers and prospects aims to help them get access to more resources and funds, enabling them better leverage Zonar solutions to enhance the safety, performance and success of their fleets.”
