Fiesta Taxi/GoGo Grandparent
The City’s subsidized transit services for residents 55 and older or those who are disabled provides in-town trips as well as out-of-town medical transportation for eligible users. These programs are for Paramount residents only. The taxi-based and ride-sharing programs include transit anywhere in-town including the Paramount Senior Program, as well as approved out-of-town medical offices within a five-mile radius. Residents need to complete applications for “Paramount In Motion/One Card” for the taxi-based program and/or ride-share-based program (GoGo Grandparent). The taxi-based program participants will now pay a $1 co-pay (cash only) to the driver per one-way trip instead of purchasing trips in advance. No other fees should be paid directly to the driver. If they select GoGo Grandparent they need to set up a payment method for the co-pay for this subsidized transit service. Applications are available at our Paramount Community Center and Community Services Office.
Please Note: There will be a fee to replace lost cards.
GoGo Grandparent Brings Easy Access to Ride-Sharing
Paramount is offering the convenience of Uber and Lyft to residents 55 and older or those who are disabled by partnering with an organization that will make accessing ride-sharing easy. We are the first city in Southern California to offer GoGo Grandparent.
- Hail Uber and Lyft without downloading their apps if you aren’t comfortable arranging ride-sharing directly.
- Schedule trips by calling 1-855-GOGOUSA (1-855-464-6872) 24/7 or enlisting the help of staff at the Senior Center.
- You need to register with the City.
- Co-pay of $1 for each one-way trip (round trip is $2.00).
- All rides to the Senior Center are free.
This is a great senior-friendly transit service for those who need to get out and about but can’t always do it on their own.
