OC's Circuit Announces First-of-Its-Kind Senior Shuttle in Orange County
Electric Shuttle Service, Los Al Link, Launches in Los Alamitos Improving Senior Mobility
January 13, 2026 (Los Alamitos, CA) – Last week, Circuit launched an electric microtransit program in Los Alamitos, called Los Al Link, that provides free service for riders aged 50 and above.
This program, similar to Circuit’s service in Chula Vista, CA aims to help the City ensure that its older residents maintain their independent mobility with ease.
City officials stated that more than 30% of Los Alamitos residents are above the age of 55, and that population is only growing. Additionally, 10% of the senior population noted transportation as an increasing problem demonstrating the demand for an age-conscious transit service.
Los Al Link was spearheaded by the City of Los Alamitos and funded in a joint effort between the City and the Measure M2 Project V grant administered by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA).
“This is just the first step in the implementation of our senior master plan. This will be the first of its kind in Orange County” said City Manager Chet Simmons.
The program is not exclusive to older adults; riders under 50 can also ride for the small fare of $2.50 matching local public transit fares. The fleet consists of four vehicles: two sedans, one wheelchair van, and one ID Buzz, all of which are 100% electric.
The service will operate during the following days/hours:
Tuesday: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM
Wednesday: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM
Thursday: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM
Friday: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM
Saturday: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM
Between the Tuesday after Memorial Day and Labor Day, Los Al Link will operate on a seasonal summer schedule where the above hours will switch from 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM to 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM.
“We’re very excited about our partnership with the City of Los Alamitos,” said Circuit CEO and Co-Founder Alex Esposito. “We’ve seen senior-focused programs excel and be real assets to the community, like our service in Chula Vista. We look forward to the success that awaits this program.”
