Micro-transit program coming to Seal Beach

CITY OF SEAL BEACH

The CityofSealBeachlaunched a new pilot micro-transit program operated by Circuit with a grand ceremony on April 29. The GRF Board is in discussions about the viability of using similar Circuit vehicles to save money on GRF’s transportation costs.

The city program was made possible by a grant from the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) Clean Transportation Funding Program.

This program offers easy, eco-friendly transportation throughout the city with services beginning in May. The pilot program will last for one year and service Old Town, the Hill and Bridgeport.

To start, Circuit will operate four days a week and provide transportation to all local spots such as Main Street and the Pier.

Its operating hours are Thursdays and Fridays from 4-10 p.m., Saturdays from noon-10 p.m., and Sundays from noon-6 p.m.

Hours and service levels may be modified subject to demand.

According to the Circuit website, service began April 29. Rides are $2 per ride plus $2 per additional person. People can catch a ride by downloading the Circuit device onto their phone.
