Midway offers 164 accessible parking spaces in its parking facilities. There are two parking garages: Daily and Economy. Both of these garages have designated parking spaces located near each of the three elevator cores for motorists with disabilities. Passengers should use the center core elevators to reach the third floor to access the pedestrian bridge to the terminal building.
The Economy and Daily lot have designated parking near the entrances. All accessible parking spaces are wide enough to allow for lift or ramp access, but not all provide sufficient height for traditional accessible vans. All shuttle buses to the lots are accessible with lifts and tie downs for wheel chairs and run between the lots and the terminal every 15 minutes.
Below is a breakdown of the number of accessible spaces and locations for each lot.
