CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte Area Transit System officials say they are honoring CAT’s employees, who are working on the front-lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, by placing their faces across two moving art murals titled “Heroes Moving Heroes.”

Officials say the murals, featured on a bus and light-rail vehicle, will show these heroes with and without their masks, and will circulate the city of Charlotte through the end of the current health crisis.

“Each front-line worker is someone’s loved one. On one side of the vehicle, people will see transit workers as they normally would – with their mask on. On the other side of the vehicle, the unmasked faces on the mural represent the “person behind the mask,” said Art-in-Transit Program Administrator Chris Lange.

CATS officials want to thank their employees for their continued dedication during such an unprecedented time.

“We want to thank CATS employees for their continued hard-work and sacrifice,” said CATS CEO John Lewis. “The faces on the murals are only a sampling of our 1,300 front-line workers that make it possible to provide transit service to our community.”
