Many Federally funded projects have DBE goals. What is a DBE?
DBE stands for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise, a program implemented by local agencies and state departments of transportation pursuant to federal regulations. This program applies to all contracts financed in whole or in part by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) or Federal Highways Administration (FHWA). In order for small disadvantaged firms, including those owned by minorities and women, to participate as a DBE in federal-assisted contracts, they must apply for and receive certification. For the State of California, DBE certification is performed by a certifying agency of the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP).
