Dial-A-Ride is a shared curb-to-curb transportation service provided to the City of Downey residents who are 65 years of age, or those with a physician-certified disability which prohibits the use of public transportation. The service operates within the City of Downey boundaries and travels to Kaiser Bellflower. Drivers will kindly assist you in and out of the vehicle with grocery bags or parcels, but cannot carry them to your door. The combined weight of your parcels cannot exceed 25 pounds. This includes the weight of a cart. You are limited to carry two bags per person.
