Online submissions to the Memory Project in Community Crossing can take the from of written anecdotes or poetry, recorded audio messages, or original artwork. All submissions will become part of the New York Transit Museum’s digital collection, and select contributions will be featured on the Community Crossing site on a rotating basis.

The site is designed to allow people to express themselves and share their memories in a medium suitable to their stories and most accessible to them. The Memory Project even features a phone number that people may call to record brief stories about the subway or bus; these recordings become part of the digital collection, and some are featured online in the Community Crossing site.

The Memory Project and Community Crossing are provided by the New York Transit Museum and aim to extend the reach of the Museum's educational mission while inviting the sharing of original ideas and works on subway, bus and transit-related themes.
