Since the inception of Strathcona County Accessible Transit in 1992 they have used a variety of means to provide the service. Initially Strathcona County Transit provided the service, and like the conventional transit system, used drivers from Diversified with the 2 ELF buses as well as taxis. This changed when Parkwood Transportation was contracted to provide the service with their own fleet of buses, vans and taxies. I am not sure when this occurred, but it was prior to 1997. This continued until 2005/06 when Strathcona County Transit once again began operating the service using these 4 vehicles, the Freightliner Sprinter van, and three Champion cutaway buses. At this time SCAT did not provide trips for work or school with those trips being provided by a local society called the Robin Hood Society. This limited scope meant that these four vehicles were sufficient for the time being until, although by 2009 citing "chronically unreliable bus equipment" 4 new buses were purchased a bit earlier than intended and arrived in 2010. This lead to the retirement of 600, 602, and 603 with 601 being retained as a spare. 601 is presumed to have been retired after 6008 arrived in 2011. 600 in particular went to auction and was sold. It didn't have it's Strathcona County Transit decals removed or blacked out and ran around Edmonton for a period of time in full SCT decals, although eventually the Strathcona County Transit lettering was removed although the stripes remained.
