TSA Cares is a program that helps travelers with disabilities, medical conditions, and other needs move through airport security more smoothly. If you travel by air and have a condition that affects how you move through checkpoints—whether that's a mobility device, a service animal, medication, or a medical device—this program offers a way to get support before you arrive at the airport. The program focuses on reducing stress and confusion at security by connecting you with resources and information ahead of time.
The articles here explain how the program works, what you need to know before contacting TSA Cares, what happens during a consultation, and how to prepare for your trip. You'll find information about what documentation to have ready, how the program handles different types of conditions and equipment, and what to expect when you go through security with TSA Cares support.
