Traveling to a new city typically requires planning and research, especially for those living with disabilities. From accessible attractions to getting around the city, Experience Grand Rapids gathered information to help make visiting Grand Rapids easier for everyone.

Starting with transportation, the Grand Rapids bus system, The Rapid, has stops at the Gerald R. Ford International Airport for visitors arriving by plane. All The Rapid's buses are accessible, with boarding ramps and spaces inside the bus for passengers in wheelchairs.

Those who would like to head somewhere off the public transportation route can call Reliable Medical Transport at 616.427.6414 two days prior to their desired travel date to schedule transportation. Visitors can also mention Disability Advocates of Kent County for a discount.

Once in the city, there are a variety of places to visit and things to do.
