BART launches new online platform to improve job applying experience
Finding the next step in your career at BART is about to get easier. BART has launched NEOGOV, a new online platform to improve the job application experience for both internal (current BART employees) and external candidates.
External candidates can apply by visiting the platform through bart.gov/jobs
NEOGOV will introduce several improved features in a more user-friendly interface such as:
- Search and apply for jobs from any device – including your mobile phone – using a browser or through the NEOGOV app.
- Update your information, schedule interviews, accept an offer, and view your past and open applications in one place.
- Track the status of your application in real-time to know where you stand.
NEOGOV will seamlessly replace our current platform, PeopleSoft. Positions that are unfilled at the time of transition will remain in the current system, PeopleSoft, until they are filled. If you apply for a position that remains unfilled before January 2, 2024, the status of your application will not be affected by the transition.
Any biographical data, resumes, or job alerts you have saved in PeopleSoft prior to January 2, 2024, will not be migrated. You’ll be able to recreate these in NEOGOV.

Take BART to the 2025 Chinese New Year Parade in San Francisco
San Francisco’s annual Chinese New Year Parade will take place on Saturday, February 15, starting at 5:15pm. 2025 is the Year of the Snake, which represents wisdom, intuition, and transformation! For the first time ever, the parade will close out with a choreographed drone light that will illuminate the sky over the Embarcadero at approx. 8pm.
The Chinese New Year Parade is the largest illuminated night parade in the country, and thousands of people will gather along Market Street to celebrate. Transit is the best way to get there.
Montgomery Station is the closest BART station to the start of the parade, at Market and 2nd streets. Embarcadero and Powell St. stations are also close to the parade route. Follow the rider guide above for reference.
The BARTmobile will be zooming along the parade route along with a cohort of BART staff and their families, who will be wearing BART's 2025 Lunar New Year shirt. The shirts are available for purchase in adult, youth, and toddler sizes on Railgoods.com, as well as special BARTy x Year of the Snake stickers.
If you are planning to visit Chinatown to celebrate the new year, take BART to Powell St. Station, transfer to the Muni T Third, and ride one stop to Chinatown-Rose Pak Station. Muni will be free on February 15.
