“Customers deserve not just dependable service, but great station environments too,” New York City Transit Senior Vice President of Subways Demetrius Crichlow said. “I’m proud of all the hardworking NYCT employees who brought upgrades to 63 stations since the start of our Re-NEW-vations initiative.”
Since 2023, the renovation program has made use of weekend subway closures for track maintenance to complete deep cleanings, overhauls, and remodels to subway stations. MTA workers have scrubbed, scraped, re-painted, retiled, and renewed stations from top to bottom, according to the MTA.
50 subway stations have been renovated so far, according to officials.
