Security measures restrict public access beyond the TSA Screening Checkpoint to ticketed passengers only. In some cases, airlines may grant an individual permission to accompany a disabled passenger beyond the checkpoint, subject to screening by TSA. Please check with your airline for more information.

All jetways are located on the lower level of the airport terminal and are fully accessible for the physically disabled. Boarding bridges are covered and are accessible through level-entry boarding ramps or slightly-inclined boarding ramps. In the event that an aircraft must be boarded from the ground, a special lift device is available. Passengers requiring assistance boarding an aircraft should contact their airline.

A family restroom is located in the main terminal.

The Airport Services Counter is located in the main terminal area. Airport staff members are available to assist you with questions concerning transportation, baggage, airline services, concessions, and area attractions and information.

Accessible parking is available in designated areas of the short-term and long-term parking lots at the associated parking rates. Van-accessible parking spaces, which are wider and are marked by appropriate signage, are also available in both short-term and long-term lots. Customers must display the handicap placard while parked in airport lots.  Visit the parking page for more information.

All restroom facilities are handicap accessible.
