An Edmonton custom bus charger company, Alberta North Transportation, has been charged with 223 offences and fined $108,000.
On Dec. 5, officers from Edmonton Police Service’s Commercial Vehicles Investigations Unit (CVIU) completed an investigation going back through six months of the operational records of Alberta North Transportation Ltd.
“These vehicles were used to transport large groups of people on private excursions, including students on school trips, to places like Drumheller, Jasper and Lake Louise,” said Const. James Kendrick, who led the CVIU’s investigation. “The CVIU will continue to work diligently to ensure these heavy, commercial vehicles are street legal and road worthy before a single passenger boards.”
Alberta North Transportation was served with a court appearance notice for 223 charges for multiple offences including not having trip inspections, CVIP Inspections, log books, and Safety Fitness Certificates.
Alberta North Transportation is scheduled to appear in court in Edmonton on Jan. 9, 2024.
