BACKGROUND:
Beach Shuttle Services
The City of El Segundo began to operate the Beach Shuttle in June of 1985. The
beach shuttle services continued operation until the onset of the Covid pandemic.
Historically, these services were conducted using a City -owned shuttle and City
drivers. In recent years, the City has been contracting with Swoop? to provide these
services due to challenges maintaining qualified drivers.
The Beach Shuttle operates twice a year during Spring and Summer breaks. The
hours for the shuttle services are 11:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
The shuttle stops at six designated locations in residential El Segundo and transports
passengers to El Porto Beach.
The fee to ride the shuttle is $1, or free with a valid Rec I.D. card. Ridership for
Summer 2022 was 4,558. Ridership for Spring of 2023 was 611.
Day Trip Services
The Day Trippers program began in 2018 and takes seniors to various sites throughout
Los Angeles County. These locations include museums, historical landmarks, farmers'
markets and other entertainment locations. The program is funded through Prop A.
Swoop has provided transportation for these trips since the City's shuttles were
auctioned.
In Spring of 2023, the City resumed day trip services for seniors. These recreational
trips included transporting participants to local attractions such as the Broad Museum,
the Hammer Museum, and the Getty Center. Ridership for Day Trip services for Spring
2023 was 114.
Lyft Services
In October 2021, Council voted to approve a pilot program for on -demand
transportation services for seniors and disabled residents through Lyft. Lyft includes a
concierge service that allows riders to call and book rides with staff up to five days in
advance. Riders can also book their own rides via the Lyft mobile app. Ridership for
Lyft services for Fiscal Year 2022-23 was 4,327.
El Segundo Connect
At the City Council meeting of June 20, 2023, Council approved a pilot program that would
take riders throughout the community with stops at City facilities, downtown El Segundo
and other last mile locations during the hours of 11:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The days of this
service will be Monday -Friday. The approved amount for this program is $98,280 and
Swoop will provide this service.
