Council approves $98,000 budget adjustment to keep senior Dial‑A‑Taxi program running
Summary
The council approved a $98,000 adjustment for the city's senior mobility (Dial‑A‑Taxi) program, which serves residents 60 and older with $5 one‑way fares in the service area and $20 trips to John Wayne Airport. City staff said 2,560 people are registered for the program.
Director Mark Nix and city staff briefed the council on a budget adjustment of $98,000 to support the senior mobility program (Dial‑A‑Taxi), funded historically by Measure M2. "It's for older adults 60 and older," Nix said, describing curb‑to‑curb service, accessible vans and the program’s fare structure: $5 per one‑way trip within the service area and $20 one way to John Wayne Airport.
Nix and city staff said the program is popular — the mayor noted there are 2,560 registered participants — and answered council questions about service details and shuttle connections for large events. Mayor Kelly moved the item and the council approved the budget adjustment unanimously.
