Strathcona County Transit 2006 StarTrans Senator 24 Passenger #705-714

STRATHCONA COUNTY TRANSIT
2006 StarTrans Senator 24 Passenger #705-714

In 2006, Strathcona took delivery of 10 StarTrans Senator 24 passenger shuttle buses on Ford E-450 diesel chassis. Similar to the four units delivered in 2003 (#701-704), these buses were primarily used on local service until being replaced by larger buses in the years leading up to 2011. As of mid 2014, only units 705, 710, and 714 remain in active service. 705 is specifically decaled for operator training use, while 710 and 714 often run on the Sherwood Park Transit Centre overflow lot Park N' Ride shuttle service. With the construction of the Bethel Transit Centre the use of the overflow lot would no longer be needed leading to the retirement of 710 and 714 with 705 being retired at an unknown time. There was supposed to be a third order of Senator's in 2007 but this was ultimately cancelled.
