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.
BART to run a Saturday schedule MLK Day, January 15, 2024
BART will run a Saturday schedule on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday, January 15, 2024. Saturday service means BART will open at 6am and close at midnight and there is less frequency on the Yellow line (service is every 20 minutes). BART will run all five lines from opening until around 9pm, and three-line service from around 9pm until end of service.
January 15th will also be the first day of minor schedule changes. Some departure times have shifted by a few minutes and we encourage riders to check the schedule before Monday to see if their trip is impacted.
For the most up-to-date schedule information use our Trip Planner or our official BART app to plan your specific trip.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is also a parking holiday. Parking will be free at all stations except for Milpitas and Berryessa/North San Jose. All other parking rules will be enforced.
The Valley Transportation Authority operates the lots at Milpitas and Berryessa/North San Jose and their parking rates still apply. Consult the VTA's site for more info on parking: Parking at the Milpitas & Berryessa Transit Centers | VTA
