The Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC) is a Crown Corporation of the Government of Saskatchewan, created in 1946 by an Order in Council.
It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Crown Investments Corporation of Saskatchewan, with a mandate to provide bus services carrying people and freight between major centres and to as much of the rural population as possible.
The government of Saskatchewan announced on March 22, 2017 that it planned to shut down the company by May 2017. Freight services would be terminated effective May 19, and passenger services would be terminated effective May 31.
STC owns and operates bus depots in Regina, Saskatoon, and Prince Albert, and has numerous agencies in communities throughout the province. STC also serves as the agent for Greyhound at many of its locations.
The Saskatchewan Transportation Company operates Maintenance Facilities in Regina and Saskatoon. This allows for the efficient operation of their fleet and provides an array of services to foreign fleet customers.
STC operates a number of routes to both urban and rural communities across Saskatchewan. Many STC passenger coaches are wheelchair accessible and all are Wi-Fi equipped.
STC has a history of package delivery across Saskatchewan. Many people rely on STC to transport packages, parcels, and equipment to rural areas. While providing overnight service in many locations, STC also provides customers with door-to-door pick-up and delivery in major centres.
STC provides charter services to a number of groups and organizations every year in Saskatchewan. Many corporations, sports teams, and clubs choose STC when travelling to functions both in and out of province. Charters are available any day of the week and for various lengths of time subject to availability.
STC maintains a fleet of coaches, freight trucks and trailers. Many passenger vehicles are wheelchair accessible and all are Wi-Fi enabled.
STC employs over 230 people. All In Scope employees are members of the Amalgamated Transit Union.
