Strathcona County Transit had four new buses, Goshen GC-II's on Chevrolet Express 4500 chassis, delivered in 2010 to help replace the original fleet of 600 series vehicles SCAT had operated since Strathcona County Transit took back over the operation on of SCAT in 2005/06. These vehicles were replaced a bit earlier than scheduled with the transit department citing "chronically unreliable bus equipment" affecting their ability to deliver reliable service. 6008 was added in 2011, presumably as a replacement for 601, and inline with the original planned retirement date for the 2006 SCAT buses. Up until this point SCAT had didn't provide trips for school or work purposes. This would change when the disabled and senior service was overhauled. The new service launched on September 3, 2013 and was rebranded as Mobility Bus, coinciding with the 2013 delivery of 3 more GC-II's. These ones were the first delivered in the new Strathcona County Transit paint scheme, with 6004-6008 being delivered in the maroon "XL-II" paint scheme. 3 more buses would come in 2014, and these were the last with the Chevy chassis.
