Transportation Services

SENIOR TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM

Effective June 1, 2020, the City of Seal Beach Senior Transportation Services will be provided by California Yellow Cab.  This service change was a result of the unexpected closure of the Keolis’ Orange County facility, which was contracted to operate the City’s senior shuttle and dial-a-ride program. The Keolis Orange County facility is scheduled to close on May 31, 2020.

As a result, the Thursday Shopper Shuttle Service and Senior Nutrition Shuttle/Rossmoor/North Seal Beach Community Center will be suspended until further notice; however, the Dial-a-Ride services will be expanded as follows with California Yellow Cab:

  • Operating hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30a.m. to 2:30p.m.
  • Reservations must be made 24-hours in advance by calling toll free (877) 224-8294. Reservations made less than 24-hours in advance cannot be guaranteed.
  • Only registered eligible riders can partake in this service. To be eligible, the rider must be a Seal Beach resident 60 years and older.
