Annual Disvantaged Business Enterprise Training

Small businesses owned by women and minorities that provide professional services, construction and supplies related to the transportation field can apply for a free certification. This certification is called the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) certification (49 CFR Part 26).

•What types of business documents do I need to apply for DBE certification?
