DBE goal methodology
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise/Airport Concessions (DBE/ACDBE)
Overall DBE Program goals

Our FHWA DBE triennial goal methodology for 2020-2022 supports an overall goal of 14.4%. We plan to satisfy this goal on its FHWA-funded contracts with a 7.5% race-conscious component and a 6.9% race-neutral component.
The goal methodology was established using information from the disparity study conducted by Colette Holt & Associates.
