New investor platform aims to strengthen financial communications and support future bond sales

(OAKLAND, CA– August 25, 2025) – The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) has partnered with BondLink to launch a new, dedicated investor relations website to enhance transparency and financial communications with the capital markets. The platform, www.InvestInBART.com, offers bond investors, analysts, and the public streamlined access to BART’s financial disclosures, bond program details, major capital project updates, and more.

As one of the largest transit systems in the country, BART has long emphasized transparency and responsible financial management. The new platform builds on that commitment, providing a centralized hub for key documents including annual budgets, performance reports, and additional continuing disclosures. It also features a robust projects section and news feed to offer updates on system investments and infrastructure improvements across the Bay Area. Behind the scenes, BART’s finance team will also benefit from internal tools like an automated Debt Profile, helping them to stay organized and manage outstanding bonds more efficiently.

“This new platform is a big step forward in how we connect and build trust with the investment community,” said Joseph Beach, Chief Financial Officer of BART. “It allows us to better highlight the strength of our financial stability strategies and showcase the capital investments we’re making across the system which are critical to enhancing the reliability of our system for our riders.”

BART joins a growing number of public transit agencies nationwide that rely on BondLink’s technology to modernize how they engage with investors, including Chicago Transit Authority, Dallas Area Rapid Transit, Sound Transit, and WMATA.

The timing of the site launch is especially valuable, as BART prepares for the issuance and sale in August, including $929,770,000 in General Obligation Bonds and $75,540,000 in Sales Tax Revenues Bonds. With the new platform in place, market participants can more easily evaluate the credit, track recent developments, and access the latest sale information. 

“BART is a vital part of the Bay Area’s infrastructure, and they’re doing an exceptional job telling their story to the market,” said Colin MacNaught, CEO and Co-Founder of BondLink. “This partnership helps position BART as a national leader in how transit agencies manage their debt programs and connect with investors.”
