[Colorado-Talk] DIA Accessibility

Tue Jun 4 15:45:26 UTC 2024

That’s great! It says it’s supposed to be operational by the middle of the year. Supposed to be. 😊 

I’m flying in late July and again in late August, so naturally, I’m super curious how this is going to work.

I hope they’re bringing in blind travelers to help test it.

Thanks,

Tim

We absolutely included wayfinding as something that needed to be included in DIA accessibility.

Hello Tim:

I don't know what is planned in terms of wayfinding technology for the blind, but I do know that the Denver International Airport is an Aira free zone, meaning that none of your minutes are used if you use Aira at the airport.

Kindly,

Curtis Chong

Hi, all,

I was intrigued by this little slice of an article I read in the Denver Post about a bill to improve accessibility at DIA:

Before it was amended, the bill provided grounds for potential lawsuits if the airport failed to meet several deadlines that are still set out in the legislation. Those include installing wayfinding technology to serve people who are blind or vision impaired by the middle of this year;

Say what? Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks,

Tim
