In the 1990’s, OCTA developed a program called the Senior Mobility Program in which local agencies are provided with funds to operate their own bus program. The idea behind the program is for each municipality to control their own program and design it to meet the needs of their community. The City of Seal Beach secured this grant funding and has been successfully operating this program for the past 15 years.
The current program primarily consists of two components: the Senior Transportation Shuttle, and the Dial-A-Ride program.
The Senior Transportation Shuttle is a program that assists Seal Beach seniors in accessing shopping areas within the City. The shuttle runs to the Shops at Rossmoor and to the pier/main street.
The Dial-A-Ride component of the program has traditionally offered to drive a senior resident to any location within City limits. Residents can utilize the Dial-A-Ride program for medical visits outside the city by up to three miles. The Dial-A-Ride service is available Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and can be utilized by calling (877) 224-8294 at least 24 hours in advance to schedule the date, time, and location.
More information for the senior shuttle and the dial a ride program can be found here: Senior Transportation Shuttle Dial A Ride Program For more information on the Senior Transportation Programs please contact: Tatiana Marocco, at tmarocco@sealbeachca.gov or (562) 431-2527 x1307.
