The Minnesota Department of Transportation invites public comment on the proposed statewide goals for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation in highway and transit contracts for federal fiscal years 2025-2027.
The DBE program is an affirmative action program intended to level the playing field by providing contracting opportunities for small businesses that are owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.
MnDOT is required by the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration to set statewide goals for disadvantaged business participation in federally funded projects over the next three years. The proposed FHWA goal is 15.3% and the proposed FTA goal is 8.7% on all U.S. Department of Transportation-assisted contracts.
A virtual public hearing is scheduled to discuss the goals and methodology and receive public comment:
The proposed statewide goals are available for public comment June 18 - July 18, 2024.
Please submit all comments to ocrformsubmissions.dot@state.mn.us and include the following information:
- Name (first and last)
- Organization (if applicable)
- Email address (required)
- Phone
- Comment
