In 2010, Metro's Arts in Transit program commissioned the work Honey, Where’s my Metro Pass? by Nick Lang and Thad Duhigg for installation at this station. Some of Lang's students visited the Rock Road location and noted the common objects used by commuters. After documenting these visits, the students created maquettes that laid the groundwork for the sculpture. The artists expanded on the students’ ideas and fabricated this sculpture, which depicts the contents of an average Metro rider’s pockets at a very large scale.[3]
