LaGuardia Gateway Partners (LGP), the manager and developer of LaGuardia Airport’s (LGA) new Terminal B, has partnered with KultureCity, a nonprofit on sensory accessibility and acceptance. The two have joined forces to launch LGP’s new accessibility resource designed to provide calming and sensory support for guests who may find airport environments overwhelming due to sensory sensitivities or disabilities.
KultureCity’s sensory bags are now available to individuals visiting LaGuardia Terminal B, equipped with noise cancelling headphones, fidget tools, sunglasses, and visual cue cards or communication aids. LGP said the new offering ensures LGP’s ongoing commitment to providing the best possible support for every guest from curbside to gate.
“We’re grateful to be working with KultureCity in our continued dedication to making our terminal as accessible as possible to valued guests,” said LGP CEO Suzette Noble. “Terminal B is privileged to offer a range of essential accessibility resources to travelers who may need support throughout their airport journey available in all parts of our terminal.”
The introduction of KultureCity Sensory Bags is the latest addition to Terminal B’s fleet of accessibility resources, consisting of the Hearing Loops System, Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Lanyard, wheelchair accommodations and the TSA Cares helpline. LGP also employs apps including Convo to connect guests to live American Sign Language interpreters and AIRA to help blind or low-vision guests navigate.
