Where To Find The MTA's Coronavirus Memorial In Brooklyn
An art exhibition in select stations across New York City honors the lives of the 107 MTA workers who have died of coronavirus.

BROOKLYN, NY — More than 40 stations in Brooklyn have been set up with a new art installation honoring the Metropolitan Transit Authority workers that have lost their lives to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The installation — titled "Travels Far: A Memorial Honoring Our Colleagues Lost to COVID-19" —is built with pictures shared by family members of the fallen MTA workers. It is based around a poem by Tracy K. Smith, a former U.S. Poet Laureate, commissioned specifically for this project.
As part of the memorial, a video will play twice consecutively three times a day, at 10:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m., and 8:30 p.m., from this Monday through Sunday at 107 stations across NEw York City.

"COVID-19 has been a devastating scourge on our entire country and, tragically, that includes the MTA's workforce," said MTA Chairman and CEO Patrick Foye, in a news release. "We quickly made sure that those families who lost an MTA worker to COVID were taken care of financially, but the launch of today's memorial is aimed at personalizing the legacies of those who died during the pandemic."
