Where To Find The MTA's Coronavirus Memorial In Queens

QUEENS, NY — More than a dozen Queens subway stations are showing a new art installation honoring the 100-plus Metropolitan Transit Authority workers who have lost their lives to COVID-19.

The installation, "Travels Far: A Memorial Honoring Our Colleagues Lost to COVID-19," ties together pictures of the fallen MTA workers and a poem by Tracy K. Smith, a former U.S. Poet Laureate, that was commissioned specifically for the 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 New York City subway stations. The video can also be found on the MTA's website.

"COVID-19 has been a devastating scourge on our entire country and, tragically, that includes the MTA's workforce," MTA Chairman and CEO Patrick Foye said in a statement. "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."
