Federal and State agencies have enacted programs to promote equality of economic opportunities, ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of contracts, and encourage and support eligible businesses to play a greater role in the economy. RGRTA is mandated to comply with the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), New York State’s Minority and Women’s Business Enterprise (MWBE), and the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) programs. Each program has established goals which are applied to procurements conducted utilizing federal and state assistance respectively. Per New York State Regulations, contracts subject to DBE goals may not have MWBE nor SDVOB goals established. Contracts not subject to DBE goals may have either or both MWBE and SDVOB goals set. It is RGRTA’s policy to comply with these regulations in the administration of its procurement and contract management activities.
