Since 1992, MTA's Poetry in Motion program has brought more than 200 poems or excerpts before the eyes of millions of subway, bus and rail commuters. The program displays two new poems each quarter throughout the New York City transit system. Each poem is chosen in collaboration with the Poetry Society of America and artwork accompanying the poems is drawn from permanent installations on view in the MTA Arts & Design program.
