I am glad we were able to be of some help. That's what FT is for. Do call the numbers provided. Here is a quote from the section on disability services from the link provided upthread.
Lift-Equipped Buses
Shuttle service to the parking lots and to the railroad station can be provided by lift-equipped buses. Notify First Transit (Operator of the shuttle bus service) at 410-684-3346 to request a wheelchair accessible shuttle bus. It usually takes a few minutes for them to send a specially requested bus.
If a wheel chair is needed:
Wheelchair Service
Aviation Safeguards serves Southwest, American, Delta, British Airways and USA3000. The wheelchair request number is
410-981-1251.
Prime Flight Aviation Services serves AirTran, Continental, jetBlue, United, and US Airways. The wheelchair request number is 410-859-4444.
The person who will be pushing his wheel chair should escort him to the bus. I do not know if they have any help at the BWI rail station to help him board the train. Check with Amtrak to see if they have any assistance available at BWI rail station.
