== Future == [[File:Unitrans 8185 001.jpg|thumb|right|Unitrans 8185]] Unitrans has moved towards an almost-entirely alternative fuel fleet. With the exception of the vintage double-deck buses and two rarely used support vans, the fleet is powered entirely by compressed natural gas. All diesel single-deck buses have been retired from service and have been sold. The Unitrans fleet is currently powered by nearly 95% alternative fuel. Unitrans received delivery in March 2010 of two [[Alexander Dennis Enviro500]] buses, in an attempt to accommodate the high passenger loads while reducing the demand on drivers. These buses are powered by clean diesel engines, which produce the same levels of emissions as the compressed natural gas, which powers the modern fleet. These two buses are not intended to replace the antique double-deck buses, but to complement them and accommodate the high passenger loads that Unitrans experiences on a daily basis.<ref name="Aggie Dennis">{{cite news |first = Marion |last = Everidge |title = Unitrans tests modern double-deck bus |url = http://media.www.californiaaggie.com/media/storage/paper981/news/2006/01/23/CampusNews/Unitrans.Tests.Modern.DoubleDeck.Bus-1493237.shtml |publisher = The California Aggie |page = Campus News |date = 2006-01-23 |access-date = 2007-03-05 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070129123343/http://media.www.californiaaggie.com/media/storage/paper981/news/2006/01/23/CampusNews/Unitrans.Tests.Modern.DoubleDeck.Bus-1493237.shtml |archive-date = 2007-01-29 |url-status = dead }}</ref> Unitrans has added six [[New Flyer]] [[New Flyer Low Floor|C40LFR]] [[low-floor bus]]es to the fleet, and had 12 more delivered in 2010. The aging 1996 Orion V 35' fleet was retired, as well as four of the remaining 40' Orion V buses. Unitrans purchased three [[New Flyer Xcelsior]] low-floor buses in 2014, and they were put into service in July 2014.
