Current Projects

As CATS continues to expand transit options in the area, Art in Transit works to enhance the future rider’s experience by integrating public art into most capital improvement projects. Each requires a process that includes selecting artists, proposal development in conjunction with the Art in Transit Advisory Committee, community outreach, fabrication, and installation. Throughout these phases, staff works closely with the artists and project team to ensure the art is of high quality and brings interest to otherwise standard elements.
