Pursuant to federal regulation 49 C.F.R. Part 26, the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) is seeking comments on the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program and overall DBE goals for the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) & Maryland Aviation Administration (MAA). In establishing overall DBE Program goals, federal regulations require consultation with stakeholders, which include, without limitation, minority and women’s business groups, community organizations, and other officials or organizations that may have information concerning the availability of disadvantaged businesses, the effects of discrimination on opportunities for small, minority and disadvantaged firms, and MTA’s and MAA’s efforts to increase DBE participation. To comply with this requirement, we are seeking stakeholder input through a survey and public meetings called Stakeholder Public Listening Sessions.
Your input is important and may be used to enhance operations of the DBE Program at MTA and MAA. Please complete the Survey and register to participate in one of our four Public Listening Sessions where you can provide “virtual” feedback.
The online survey must be completed by May 31, 2025 and can be accessed here
