FTA DBE Program Outreach & Listening Session October 2021

FTA is seeking to gather feedback on the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program from the program’s stakeholders. On October 14, 2021, FTA held a virtual event and heard from a variety of transit agencies, DBEs, prime contractors, and others in the transit industry. For more information on the event, please visit https://www.transit.dot.gov/regulations-and-programs/civil-rights-ada/fta-outreach-listening-session-dbe-issues-concerns.

Here, we’re continuing the conversation. We encourage you to use the forum below to post questions and comments and respond to others. FTA will use the information gathered here to improve the DBE program

How it works:
  • Post a question, comment, or idea, or offer or request a resource.
  • Check out questions, comments, or ideas others have suggested and vote on your favorites.
  • Please include only one question, comment, or suggestion per post to help us keep the forum organized.
Thank you for your feedback on the DBE program!
