Non urban funding for capital and operations. Funding for capital replacement, such as building or vehicles. A more recent and creative type of fund raising is vehicular advertising.

Businesses in the community can achieve an additional level of exposure with your vehicles and be able to write off the expense. Another opportunity to generate funds is to provide contractual services to health care providers. This could be an arrangement where a medical facility would pay an hourly fee to transport patients to and from medical appointments. Reimbursement can also be structured per rider. The other method of vehicle charging can be based on miles.
