Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Participation Goal for 2025-2027

AVTA Invites Feedback on Our DBE Participation Goal

AVTA receives federal financial assistance from the Department of Transportation (DOT) and, as a condition of receiving this assistance, AVTA has signed an assurance that it will comply with Title 49 CFR, Part 26, Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) in DOT Financial Assistance Programs.

Every three years, staff reviews the Authority’s DBE program and participation goal and updates where necessary to meet changing circumstances before submission to the FTA. The review requires a public hearing be opened.to allow for outreach and public comment. The public hearing will take place at the regularly scheduled AVTA Board meeting on July 23, 2024. You may view the document here.
