DBE goal methodology
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise/Airport Concessions (DBE/ACDBE)
Overall DBE Program goals
Our Civil Rights Division establishes the triennial goal methodologies for DBE participation on USDOT-assisted contracts with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds.
Federal Aviation Administration
Our proposed FAA DBE triennial goal methodology for FFYs 2022-2024 supports an overall goal of 11.5%. We plan to satisfy this goal on our FAA-funded contracts with an 11.5% race-conscious component and a 0% race-neutral component.
The goal methodology was established using information from the disparity study conducted by Colette Holt & Associates.
The public comment period for the proposed FFYs 2022-2024 FAA DBE goal methodology has ended.
The current FAA DBE goal methodology for FFYs 2019-2021 supports an overall goal of 12%, which we plan to satisfy with a 6.4% race-conscious component and a 5.6% race-neutral component.
Federal Highway Administration
Our proposed FHWA DBE triennial goal methodology for FFYs 2023-2025 supports an overall goal of 18.94%. We expect to satisfy this goal on our FHWA-funded by achieving 10.51% through race-conscious measures and 8.43% through race-neutral measures.
