The new garage provides heated storage for a fleet of 41 buses: 25 Access Transit buses, as well as 12 conventional buses and up to four articulating buses.

Access Transit is a service for people who are unable to use the regular transit system. Service is provided using lift-equipped buses and cabs within the city limits of Saskatoon on an "accessible door to accessible door" basis.

In 2009, Access Transit provided 120,620 trips.
