On the Move, Charlee Swanson, 2020. On view at the Avandale Park & Ride. Charlee created a series of brightly colored sculptures, ranging from large to smaller satellite sculptures that greet customers entering the Park & Ride. These pieces lead the eye to visually dance and move like commuters coming and going.
NJ TRANSIT's Transit Arts Program is based on the idea that art is essential to the overall transportation experience. Carefully planned and conceived, art is woven into key elements of our system, resulting in a more enjoyable travel experience.
The program was created to integrate artwork into the architectural design of transit facilities, creating inspirational places that improve the riding experience for customers and enhance the beauty of public spaces within communities. The Transit Arts Program was piloted with the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail project in 1994 and became a corporate-wide program in 1996. Today, NJ TRANSIT has over 200 art installations through our transportation systems.
