ADA Resources At ONT
ONT offers numerous accessibility features for travelers with disabilities. Our goal is to make every part of your ONT experience enjoyable and easy - from your arrival, to navigating the airport, and your return home. For detailed information on traveling with medical oxygen, boarding practices, and in-flight needs, please contact your airline directly.
California Relay Service
ONT partners with the California Relay Service to help travelers who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech-disabled navigate the airport.
Curb Cuts
Curb Cuts are provided from street to sidewalk level in front of the terminals.
Elevators
Elevators are located on the first (baggage claim area) and second floors (screening area) of terminals 2 and 4.
- Persons with disabilities who require an elevator should immediately notify their airline ticket counter agent if they are in the first-floor ticketing area. Your airline can provide alternative means of getting you to the departure level screening area.
- If you are on the second-floor departures level and cannot use the stairs or escalator, notify a wheelchair attendant or airline representative. They will provide alternative means of getting you to the first-floor arrivals level.
Parking, Shuttles and Curbside Services
Disabled parking is available in all parking lots. Pick-Up and Drop-Off locations have handicap accessible areas at every terminal and rampways are provided from street to sidewalk level in front of the terminals. All ONT Courtesy Shuttles that travel within the airport grounds are wheelchair-accessible.

Security Checkpoint Assistance - TSA Cares
TSA Cares is a helpline to assist travelers with disabilities and medical conditions. TSA recommends that passengers call 72 hours ahead of travel with questions about screening policies, procedures and what to expect at the security checkpoint. TSA Cares will serve as an additional, dedicated resource specifically for passengers with disabilities, medical conditions or other circumstances or their loved ones who want to prepare for the screening process prior to flying. The hours of operation for TSA Cares helpline are Monday through Friday 8 a.m. – 11 p.m. EST and weekends and Holidays 9 a.m. – 8p.m. EST. Travelers who are deaf or hard of hearing can use a relay service to contact TSA Cares or can e-mail TSA-ContactCenter@dhs.gov 1-855-787-2227
Service Animal Relief Areas
Outdoors
Service animal relief areas are conveniently located outside, at the east end of each terminal. Relief areas are equipped with disposable bags and trash cans for convenient clean-up after your service animal relieves itself. Service animal relief areas are also located on the departure level of each terminal.
Indoors
Each terminal has an indoor animal relief area East of the security screening area. See the directional map and signage after you clear security.
Water Fountains
Adjacent to each restroom is a hydration station to sip water or fill up your bottle. To locate all of our water stations check out our map here.
Wheelchair Service
To request wheelchair service, contact your airline 72 hours in advance. Wheelchair service is provided free of charge by your airline. Tipping is not required for wheelchair service.
- Most individuals requesting wheelchair assistance are transported via wheelchair from ticketing to the aircraft. Airlines are required to provide curbside wheelchair service when requested. On your return flight, you should remind a flight attendant that you will need a wheelchair upon arrival.
- If you didn’t request wheelchair service before arriving at the airport, you may ask the airline representative at the ticket counter for wheelchair service. Keep in mind that requesting wheelchair service less than 72 hours in advance may result in a delay in providing you with a wheelchair. Priority is generally given to those who reserved wheelchair service ahead of time.
