Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program

Partnering with minority and women-owned businesses.

LTD established a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program to create a level playing field where small businesses, owned by minorities and women, can compete fairly for contracts and subcontracts relating to the District’s construction, procurement, and professional services activities. In accordance with regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation, the District ensures nondiscrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, or national origin in the award and administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation-assisted contracts.

DBE Overall Goal:

This goal is in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation, as set forth in 49 C.F.R. Part 26. LTD intends to meet this entire goal using race/gender neutral and conscious measures.

For more information on the goal rationale, as well as other supporting information, review LTD's DBE Goals-Setting Methodology. LTD's DBE Policy Statement is also available in PDF form.
