STRATHCONA COUNTY TRANSIT
2003 StarTrans Senator #'s 700-704 (24 passenger), #896 (16 passenger)

In 2003, Strathcona took delivery of a total of 6 StarTrans Senator cutaway style buses. The purchases included 5, 24 passenger versions on the Ford E-450 chassis, fitted with a destination sign and a single 16 passenger bus without a destination sign intended to be used on a dedicated shuttle between the Sherwood Park Transit Centre and an overflow park and ride lot a few blocks from the transit centre. With the construction of the Bethel Transit Centre the use of the overflow lot would no longer be needed. In the end, the StarTrans fleet would be replaced with Nova Bus LFS' and it wouldn't be until 2025 that regular Strathcona County Transit users would ride cutwaway buses again.
