We're giving stations Re-NEW-vations

The Station Re-NEW-vation Program uses the 55-hour window provided by planned weekend service outages to clean, scrub, scrape, paint, brighten, repair, retile, refurbish, renovate, and renew stations from top to bottom. On Monday morning, when service is restored, customers return to an overhauled station. This program is one of the major initiatives in New York City Transit’s Faster, Cleaner, Safer plan to improve the subway customer experience.

Re-NEW-vations aren't just about cleaning. They're about showing stations some love by:

• Changing lightbulbs
• Repairing HVAC systems
• Unclogging drains
• Securing platforms and stairs
• Replacing outdated and damaged signs

At some stations, Re-NEW-vations include additional work, such as:

• Rebuilding two entire staircases at Junction Blvd ​
• Replacing over 12,000 sq. ft. of subway tile at 157 St ​
• Significant roof repairs to shelter customers during heavy rains at Canarsie-Rockaway Pkwy ​

We've Re-NEW-vated over 75 stations across the city so far, and we're planning to Re-NEW-vate 50 more each year. So far we've completed the following work:

• 2.2 million square feet of repainted surfaces
• 103,930 square feet of wall tile replaced
• 4,596 square feet of floor tiles replaced
• 1,599 new or replacement metal signs fabricated and installed
• 243 decals fabricated and installed
• 142 outdated, damaged, or unnecessary signs or map frames removed
• 72 signs or mounting brackets repaired

It's all designed to give riders a cleaner, brighter, more pleasant experience in the subway system.
