- Uber recently settled a major lawsuit that prohibits Uber drivers from charging extra for the time it takes people with mobility disabilities to load themselves and their equipment into vehicles.

​
- The TSA website provides clear information about what to expect in terms of scrutiny, procedures and assistance at its security screening checkpoints. It also offers a fillable "disability notification card" form via the above website that you can present to screeners.
- TSA Cares is a helpline that provides travelers with disabilities, medical conditions and other special circumstances additional assistance during the security screening process. TSA Cares
allows you to submit an online form requesting assistance at the TSA screening checkpoint at any U.S. airport. If the flight is within 72 hours, call (855) 787-2227 to request assistance.
- TSA Pre-Check is well worth paying the $70 to enroll in if you travel regularly. Wheelchair users' wheelchairs will still be examined and tested, but the wheelchair rider is spared the intrusive pat-down, shoe removal, etc.
