El Segundo City Council on June 17 authorized amendments to the city's contract with Swoop Inc., which provides the beach shuttle and city dial-a-ride services with Lyft.
Council action came during the consent calendar after staff reported that utilization of the beach shuttle is decreasing while utilization of the Lyft service is increasing. Council also asked for additional detail on use of the beach shuttle, the Lyft dial-a-ride and the "doctor dial a ride" programs.
The contract amendment was placed on the consent calendar and approved as part of the council's routine consent items. The meeting record does not show a separate substantive debate or a roll-call vote for the amendment; the council approved all other consent items at the same time.
The staff presentation did not include precise ridership numbers or a funding change tied to the amendment; those details were not specified in the meeting record. The council did not take separate motion-based direction beyond asking staff for additional utilization details.
The council packet and video are available on the city's website for members of the public seeking the contract amendment text or underlying ridership data.
