The winning entries will be featured on the MTA's website and social media accounts. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has made the use of face coverings mandatory throughout the MTA's system.

The MTA will use Google crisis maps to track the strike, and communicate to riders through their website, LIRR app, and twitter account. There hasn’t been an LIRR strike since 1994.

The LIRR, he said, will work with their contractor, Outfront Media, to have the poster quickly replaced. "The MTA and LIRR have no tolerance for discrimination," Donovan said.
