摘要

As state departments of transportation (DOTs) carry out their highway construction programs, they are required by the U.S.DOT to direct a portion of their federal-aid fund expenditures toward small businesses called Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs). A DBE is defined as a small, for-profit business concern that is at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. States are required to meet the maximum feasible portion of their DBE participation goals using race-neutral means designed to remove barriers and enhance opportunities for all small businesses, not just DBEs. (The term race-neutral is understood to include gender-neutrality as well.) States responses to the survey conducted for this project revealed differences in their interpretations of which strategies constitute race-neutral measures, and a measure viewed as race-neutral by one state may not be considered race-neutral in another. (For example, some states may provide advantages to prime contractors that frequently and proactively use DBE subcontractors, whereas other states do not view this practice as race-neutral.) The objective of this synthesis is to identify race-neutral strategies being used effectively by state DOTs across the country, with a goal of assisting DBE program managers and others in selecting and implementing race-neutral measures in their own agencies. State DOTs can use this synthesis report to explore strategies they may not have previously used, and to learn from other states experiences to tailor the implementation of the strategies that they use to be as effective as possible.
