Minneapolis: Uncovering Accessibility

Reading Time: 3 minutes

I’ve been traveling to Minneapolis, Minnesota for about 30 years, mostly on business and at different times during the year.  Yes, even during the winter months when there is snow on the ground and the temperatures are near zero degrees!  It’s a beautiful state in every season and offers travelers with disabilities plenty of options for accessibility and specific needs.

I am particularly impressed by the Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport.  The road leading to arrivals and departures has flashing signs indicating where people with disabilities can find assistance in the airport!  I have not seen this in any other airport.  Specially trained airport employees will assist you throughout your entire time in the airport. 

I was also impressed with the number of accessible taxi companies. In Minneapolis, there are a few taxicab companies that offer accessible vans in their fleets. These companies include Airport Taxi, Yellow Taxi, and Minneapple Taxi.  There are also private companies that provide accessible transportation. You should contact those providers for more information specific to your needs.
