Each individual operator has its own programs and policies in place to better serve customers with mobility issues, so customers should confirm their specific mobility needs with their individual facility. For additional details visit www.ParkRideFlyUsa.com and click on the “Accessible Parking Available” link.

The Air Carrier Access Act is an anti-discrimination law in effect for 21 years. Airlines are obligated to offer any customer who need assistance quick wheelchair service from the terminal’s curb, on to the flight and into their seat. After a number of well publicized stories regarding the mistreatment of passengers needing wheelchair assistance, airlines are finally tackling the wheelchair need. Other airport services have been slow to follow. This ParkRideFly program bridges the gap from discount airport parking lots to terminal curb.

ParkRideFlyUsa.com provides the leading national reservations engine to book airport parking at the finest offsite discount parking facilities across the US.
